The corn-merchant was a man of many anxieties. His heart was weak. He had certain grievances. Such as:
(i) His nephew was cheating him
(ii) his wife had the strange idea of spending 10 pounds on a holiday,
(iii) Altogether the pace of life was getting too much for him still in a moment of despair he uttered a great cry from the heart. “They tell me there’s aeroplane now that goes at 1000 miles an hour. Now that’s too fast.” It seems as if he is, not satisfied with his own affairs. The complaint of the corn-merchant seems to be absolutely irrelevant.
