Answer:
The narrator’s friend Tom had bought a couple of ripe and strong smelling cheeses from Liverpool which
he requested his friend Jerome carry back to London since he would be delayed by a day or two.
Jerome willingly took the cheeses with him in spite of their strong and overwhelming smell. He wasn’t
affected by the smell in any way but at the same time he did not realise that the others around him
were disturbed by it. Once he reached the railway station with the packet of cheese, people started
moving away from him. After that, he boarded a crowded train and got inside a carriage which already
had seven passengers. In spite of facing objection, he moved inside and put his cheeses upon the rack
and sat down comfortably. After a little while, the old gentleman and the man next to him started
sniffing and eventually left the compartment unable to bear the smell any longer. After them, a lady
got up, packed her belongings and left the compartment complaining about the way she had been
harried. A man remarked that the smell reminded him of a dead body. On hearing this, the three other
passengers rushed to get out of the compartment, ran into each other and hurt themselves. The only
remaining gentleman in the compartment at first smiled and remarked that people make fuss over little
and insignificant things. However, after some time, he too started feeling uncomfortable and eventually
left the compartment.
Crew onwards, the narrator had the compartment to himself even though the rest of the train was
crowded. As the train stopped at different stations, the people on seeing his empty carriage, rushed to
take a seat, carrying their heavy bags. But, the moment, they opened the door, the smell hit them and
they moved away.
