give the character sketch of John Pescud from Best Seller?
Answers
Robert H Schuller’s has wisely said, “Tough times never last; but tough people do.” These lines fit aptly fit on the character of John Pescud. Through hard work, he worked very hard as a travelling salesman for a plate-glass company. Happy with his work, his company raised his salary regularly; the company also gave him commission. Through hard work he not only got financial success, but luck favoured him in his love life also. He was an inveterate romantic person. Though he was skeptic about the veracity of the best-seller romantic novels, he himself was no less than the chivalrous hero of a novel. He himself did not believe that in real life no person like Trevelyan would ever follow Alwyna to her father’s kingdom in Europe, but in actuality he himself followed the girl he loved approximately more than a thousand mile.
His own love story is no less than a romantic story of a novel. Once while travelling to Cincinnati for some business, he descried an extremely charming girl with whom he fell in love on first sight. He strongly felt she was the soul mate he had been looking for. He forgot his business engagement and travelled up to Virginia, changing trains at Cincinnati, Shelbyville, and Powhatan, following her in hope of having a word with her. As he followed her up to her house at the top of the hill, he was daunted by the mansion she entered with her father. He not only won the girl’s heart, but her father’s confidence with his sincere chivalry.
