Ans.1
The opinion John A. Pescud had about the best sellers was that all the best sellers have a middle classed person who falls in love with a rich lady and follows her to her hometown, where he tries to convince her and then her father ready to face any danger for his love. Also, at the end they always get married.John says that this is what all the best sellers have in them and all have almost the same content which, according to him, is not possible to happen ever in real life, as a man searches foe someone in his own community and not from far off places.

Ans.2
It became difficult for Pescud to keep pace with the girl he was following because she frequently stopped at stations and changed cars, sometimes took cabs and confused John as to where she was going and which way to follow her.

Ans.3
Jessie was interested in John as she knew that he was following her and was noticing every move of him. She knew what all he had faced during his journey from Cincinnati to Virginia, her home town. Even though scared of her father, she had a long talk with John and without any hesitation told him her name and other things. She even wished to help him in convincing her father for their marriage. She was the only one who woke him up at stations so that he could not let her out of sight.

Ans.4
When John met Jessie's father, at first he was scared as to what to tell her father but he started by telling that he was a travelling sales man for a plate glass company and had come to get orders for his company. Slowly, he came to the main reason for his coming there and told Colonel everything. He had a great interest in listening to stories and that was the thing which helped John in convincing him for his daughter.

Ans.5
Colonel Allyn was Jessie's father who belonged to a very rich and famous family. He was fond of listening and narrating stories to anyone who came to him. Although very rich, he has very little furniture in his house and himself wears shabby clothes.
