Where was the narrator going and whom did he meet in the chair-car?

Answer:

                The narrator was going to Pittsburg for business purpose by the chair-car which was well-filled with people of the kind one usually sees on chair-cars. He was sitting on chair no 7. Suddenly when he leaned back, he saw, that the person on chair no 9 hurled a book on the floor and it was 'The Rose Lady and Trevelyan', one of the best selling novels of those days. When he looked at that person, he remember him at once; he was his old acquaintance, John A Pescud, whom he had seen after two years.
