who was Blandford? what was he doing at the central station? briefly
Answers
John Blandford was an Army lieutenant and one day was caught in a fierce battle. His
plane was the target of the enemies and he could almost see the grinning face of the enemy pilot.
He had confessed to Hollis Meynell that he had felt fear. She had consoled him saying that all
brave men fear. So whenever Blandford felt fear he would imagine Hollis Meynell’s voice and this
renewed his strength and skill. She had even quoted the 23 rd psalm of the bible,’ all brave men
fear’. Thus Hollis Meynell was a huge moral support to John Blandford.
- John Blandford was anxiously waiting at the Grand Central Station for Hollis Meynell. At
one minute to six, a tall pretty woman walked toward him and he felt happy. But unfortunately he
saw a fat woman well past 40 standing behind her with a rose in her suit lapel. John Blandford
was terribly disappointed but concealed it. He said to himself that his friendship with Hollis
Meynell would be rarer than love and would consider his relationship with Hollis Meynell as
precious. He showed her the book , ‘ Of Human Bondage ‘ and invited the fat lady for dinner to
which the woman said that the real Hollis Meynell was waiting for him at a restaurant across the
road. Thus we admire John Blandford for being faithful to Hollis Meynell.
