Answer the following question briefly.
How did John’s first meeting with Jessie’s father go? What did the author tell him?
उत्तर
John was first a little perplexed when he first met Colonel Allyn. He did, however, be very honest about his reasons for visiting their home and how he had followed Jessie from Cincinnati. He let her father in on his earnings and future opportunities. At first, he thought the father would eject him, but he continued the talk. For at least two hours, they continued to converse about many topics, including ancestry. In response to John's request for a chance, he said he would leave if he couldn't win Jessie over.
