Questions/ Answers from the Story ” The Third Level”
Charley’s grandfather’s collection had now passed on to him. It was a collection of first-day covers. However, Sam’s letter was not a first-day cover. A first-day cover has a blank paper in it.
But this envelope contained a note that had been written by Sam to Charley. This note says that his friend, Sam, had found the third level. Sam has reached Galesburg where he is living happily. He invites his friend, Charley, and his wife Louisa to come there.
No doubt, it is another waking-dream wish fulfillment of Charley. It is his escapist fantasy (imagination).
