Class 12 English (Vistas) Chapter 1 The Third Level

by Jack Finney

The Third Level Introduction

The Third Level by Jack Finney is about the harsh realities of war. War has
irreversible consequences thus leaving people in a state of insecurity. It is also about
modern-day problems and how the common man tends to escape reality by various
means. In this story, a man named Charley hallucinates and reaches the third level of
the Grand Central Station which only has two levels.

 Top
Theme of the Lesson
The third level represents a break from the “full of insecurity, fear, war, worry and all the
rest of it” modern world. The 1890s depict a tranquil lifestyle that is not feasible in the
present. The main character wants to take his wife Louisa to Galesburg, Illinois, from
this point on. While his psychiatrist friend refers to it as a “waking-dream wish
ful몭lment,” for him, it is a part of reality.

The Third Level Summary

Summary of The Third Level is given below

The story revolves around a 31 year old man named Charley, who experienced
something weird. One day after work coming from the Subway, he reached the third
level of the Grand Central station (which doesn’t actually exist). He reminisces the entire
experience with his psychiatrist friend Sam. Charley thought he experienced time travel
and had reached somewhere in the eighteen-nineties, a time before the world saw two
of its most deadliest wars. As soon as he realised what time he is in, he immediately
decided to buy two tickets to Galesburg, Illinois; one for himself and the other for his
wife. Unfortunately, the currency used in that century was di몭erent. Thus, the next day
he withdrew all his savings and got them converted even if it meant bearing losses. He
went looking for the third level but failed to 몭nd it. It worried his wife and the
psychiatrist Sam who told him that he is hallucinating in order to take refuge from
reality and miseries of the modern world which is full of worry. Charley thus resorts to
his stamp collection in order to distract himself when suddenly one day he 몭nds a
letter from his friend Sam who had gone missing recently. Sam wrote that he always
wanted to believe in the idea of third level and now that he is there himself, he
encourages Charley and Louisa to never stop looking for it.

The Third Level Lesson Explanation

Passage: THE presidents of the New York Central and the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroads will swear on a stack of timetables that there are only two. But I say
there are three, because I’ve been on the third level of the Grand Central Station. Yes,
I’ve taken the obvious step: I talked to a psychiatrist friend of mine, among others. I told
him about the third level at Grand Central Station, and he said it was a waking dream
wish ful몭llment. He said I was unhappy. That made my wife kind of mad, but he
explained that he meant the modern world is full of insecurity, fear, war, worry and all
the rest of it, and that I just want to escape. Well, who doesn’t? Everybody I know wants
to escape, but they don’t wander down into any third level at Grand Central Station.

Word Meaning:
Stack- a pile of objects, typically one that is neatly arranged
Timetables- a schedule showing the departure and arrival times of trains, buses or
aircraft
Waking dream- an involuntary dream occuring while a person is awake
Wander- walk; roam

Explanation of the above passage: The story begins with the mention of a third level at the
Grand Central Station (which only has two levels in real). The protagonist himself is aware
that even the Presidents of New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroads would express great con몭dence in the existence of only two levels but he himself
has been to the third level. Considering the entire scenario, Charley, the protagonist had a
word with his psychiatrist friend. He explained that Charley was experiencing a ˜waking
dream wish ful몭llment or in other words, hallucination. According to the psychiatrist, Charley
was unhappy (the fact her wife did not like). Upon explaining further, it became clear that it is
the burden of all the modern problems that is pushing him to experience the apparent
the burden of all the modern problems that is pushing him to experience the apparent
perception of something not present. He tends to escape the reality. Charley agreed with
what his psychiatrist friend had to say but he still found it a bit odd to have been to the third
level of the Grand Central Station.

Passage: But that’s the reason, he said, and my friends all agreed. Everything points to
it, they claimed. My stamp collecting, for example; that’s a temporary refuge from
reality. Well, maybe, but my grandfather didn’t need any refuge from reality; things were
pretty nice and peaceful in his day, from all I hear, and he started my collection. It’s a
nice collection too, blocks of four of practically every U.S. issue, 몭rst-day covers, and so
on. President Roosevelt collected stamps too, you know.

Word Meaning: Refuge- the state of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or
di몭culty

Explanation of the above passage: Charley begins to believe in the possibility that he has
been experiencing all this to escape the harsh realities of the modern world. His friends
agreed to it as well. Even his stamp collecting is a sort of asylum he resorts to in order to feel
protected. On the other hand, he starts thinking otherwise. His grandfather started his stamp
collection but in those days, they had not seen the consequences of war and there was peace,
harmony and security. His grandfather must have not been insecure. The collection,
moreover was amazing, with blocks of four of practically every U. S. issue. Even President
Roosevelt collected stamps.

Passage: Anyway, here’s what happened at Grand Central. One night last summer I
worked late at the o몭ce. I was in a hurry to get uptown to my apartment, so I decided to
take the subway from Grand Central because it’s faster than the bus.

Explanation of the above passage: He starts explaining what exactly happened and begins
with how he chose to take the Subway to his apartment instead of the usual bus after a late-
night shift. He did this in order to save time.

Passage: Now, I don’t know why this should have happened to me. I’m just an ordinary
guy named Charley, thirty-one years old, and I was wearing a tan gabardine suit and a
straw hat with a fancy band; I passed a dozen men who looked just like me. And I wasn’t
trying to escape from anything; I just wanted to get home to Louisa, my wife.
trying to escape from anything; I just wanted to get home to Louisa, my wife.

Word Meaning: Gabardine- a smooth, durable, twill-woven worsted or cotton cloth

Explanation of the above passage: He describes himself as an ordinary man of 31 dressed

in a tan gabardine suit and a straw hat with a fancy band. It was so ordinary that he could
see other similar men at the station. He explains how he was in his normal state of mind not
wanting to escape from anywhere. All he wanted was to be with his wife Louisa at that hour.
He still doesn’t understand why this happened with him.

Passage: I turned into Grand Central from Vanderbilt Avenue, and went down the steps
to the 몭rst level, where you take trains like the Twentieth Century. Then I walked down
another 몭ight to the second level, where the suburban trains leave from, ducked into an
arched doorway heading for the subway and got lost. That’s easy to do. I’ve been in and
out of Grand Central hundreds of times, but I’m always bumping into new doorways and
stairs and corridors. Once I got into a tunnel about a mile long and came out in the
lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel. Another time I came up in an o몭ce building on Forty-sixth
Street, three blocks away.

Word Meaning:
Suburban- residential
Ducked- lower the head or body quickly
Arched- curved
Bumping- knock or run into something

Explanation of the above passage: Charley comes to the part of the incident where he
entered the Grand Central from Vanderbilt Avenue and took the stairs to the 몭rst level where
one boarded trains like the Twentieth Century. Then he went down another 몭oor to reach the
second level from where the suburban trains leave. From there he entered an arched
doorway and got lost. It was nothing unusual for him because even if he had come to that
station a thousand times, there were occasions he bumped into new corridors and doorways.
Once he entered the wrong lobby and reached Roosevelt Hotel and another time in an o몭ce
building which was three blocks away.

Passage: Sometimes I think Grand Central is growing like a tree, pushing out new
corridors and staircases like roots. There’s probably a long tunnel that nobody knows
about feeling its way under the city right now, on its way to Times Square, and maybe
another to Central Park. And maybe because for so many people through the years
Grand Central has been an exit, a way of escape maybe that’s how the tunnel I got into…
But I never told my psychiatrist friend about that idea.

Explanation of the above passage: He wondered that Grand Central was expanding at a
very fast rate just like a tree and with its roots. He it is no big deal that they even have a
secret tunnel under the city to the Times Square or maybe the Central Park. He feels it might
be because Grand Central is a place of exit for innumerable people, he also managed to
escape reality because of the same reason. Although he never shared it with his psychiatrist.
Passage: The corridor I was in began angling left and slanting downward and I thought
that was wrong, but I kept on walking. All I could hear was the empty sound of my own
footsteps and I didn’t pass a soul. Then I heard that sort of hollow roar ahead that
means open space and people talking. The tunnel turned sharp left; I went down a short
몭ight of stairs and came out on the third level at Grand Central Station. For just a
moment I thought I was back on the second level, but I saw the room was smaller, there
were fewer ticket windows and train gates, and the information booth in the centre was
wood and old looking. And the man in the booth wore a green eyeshade and long black
sleeve protectors. The lights were dim and sort of 몭ickering. Then I saw why; they were
open-몭ame gaslights.

Explanation of the above passage: The unusual corridor he had entered into began angling
left and slanting downward which he felt odd about but nevertheless, he kept on walking.
There was no one except him and the voice of his feet echoed. He 몭nally heard the sound of
people talking from a distance, then he took a left and walked down the stairs again only to
reach the third level of the Grand Central. He thought he had somehow made his way back to
the second level but as he noticed, the room was smaller, there were fewer ticket windows
and train gates, and the information booth in the center was wood and old-looking. The man
in the booth was also di몭erent and the station was dim-lit for there were open-몭ame
gaslights.

Passage: There were brass spittoons on the 몭oor, and across the station a glint of light
caught my eye; a man was pulling a gold watch from his vest pocket. He snapped open
the cover, glanced at his watch and frowned. He wore a derby hat, a black four-button
suit with tiny lapels, and he had a big, black, handlebar mustache. Then I looked around
and saw that everyone in the station was dressed like eighteen-ninety-something; I
never saw so many beards, sideburns and fancy mustaches in my life. A woman walked
in through the train gate; she wore a dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves and skirts to the
top of her high-buttoned shoes. Back of her, out on the tracks, I caught a glimpse of a
locomotive, a very small Currier & Ives locomotive with a funnel-shaped stack. And then
I knew.

Word Meaning:
Spittoons- a metal or earthenware pot typically having a funnel-shaped top, used for
spitting into
Vest- a garment worn on the upper part of the body
Snapped- break suddenly and completely
Locomotive- a powered railway vehicle used for pulling trains

Explanation of the above passage: Charley could see brass spittoons everywhere when
suddenly a glimpse of light caught his eye and he saw a man pulling his gold watch from the
vest. He was dressed in an old-fashioned style. Suddenly, he noticed that everyone was
dressed like the nineteenth century. It was basically the time before deadly wars. So many
beards and fancy mustaches all around, something that the protagonist had never seen
before. He even saw a very small Currier & Ives locomotive which made him sure about which
time he is in.
time he is in.

Passage: To make sure, I walked over to a newsboy and glanced at the stack of papers
at his feet. It was The World, and The World hasnâ’t been published for years. The lead
story said something about President Cleveland. I’ve found that front page since, in the
Public Library 몭les, and it was printed June 11, 1894.

Explanation of the above passage: To validate his suspicion, he went over to the
newspaper boy who was selling The World, a newspaper which was discontinued years ago.
There were some headlines about the then President Cleveland. The date on the front page
was also June 11, 1894. He was now sure.

Passage: I turned toward the ticket windows knowing that here on the third level at
Grand Central I could buy tickets that would take Louisa and me anywhere in the United
States we wanted to go. In the year 1894. And I wanted two tickets to Galesburg, Illinois.
Have you ever been there? It’s a wonderful town still, with big old frame houses, huge
lawns, and tremendous trees whose branches meet overhead and roof the streets. And
in 1894, summer evenings were twice as long, and people sat out on their lawns, the
men smoking cigars and talking quietly, the women waving palm-leaf fans, with the 몭re-
몭ies all around, in a peaceful world. To be back there with the First World War still
twenty years o몭, and World War II over forty years in the future… I wanted two tickets
for that.

Explanation of the above passage: Immediately, he went to the ticket window to get the
tickets for Galesburg, Illinois for him and his wife. It was a wonderful town with a lot of
greenery. He was well aware that from here one could buy tickets that would take them
anywhere in the United States. He describes how things were in 1984 before the two World
Wars took place. Evenings were twice as long as they are now and men and women living in
peace and serenity.

Passage: The clerk 몭gured the fare he glanced at my fancy hatband, but he 몭gured the
fare” and I had enough for two coach tickets, one way. But when I counted out the
fare” and I had enough for two coach tickets, one way. But when I counted out the
money and looked up, the clerk was staring at me. He nodded at the bills. That ain’t
money, mister,he said, and if you’re trying to skin me, you won’t get very far, and he
glanced at the cash drawer beside him. Of course the money was old-style bills, half
again as big as the money we use nowadays, and di몭erent-looking. I turned away and
got out fast. There’s nothing nice about jail, even in 1894.

Word Meaning: Clerk- administrator

Explanation of the above passage: As the clerk calculated the fare, he looked at Charley”
fancy hatband. Charley just had enough for one sided journey. Just as he took out money, the
clerk informed that this is not the acceptable legal tender and by any chance if he tried to be
smart, he won’t be able to get away with it. He glanced at his cash drawer and realised that
currency used back then was di몭erent and almost double the size. He ran out because he
didn’t want to go to jail.

Passage: And that was that. I left the same way I came, I suppose. Next day, during
lunch hour, I drew three hundred dollars out of the bank, nearly all we had, and bought
old-style currency (that really worried my psychiatrist friend). You can buy old money at
almost any coin dealers, but you have to pay a premium. My three hundred dollars
bought less than two hundred in old-style bills, but I didn’t care; eggs were thirteen
cents a dozen in 1894.

Explanation of the above passage: The day ended after he came out. The next day he went
to withdraw his entire savings and got them converted into old money by paying some
amount of premium. It cost him much and even worried his psychiatrist friend but he still
went with it. Back then, eggs cost thirteen cents a dozen.

Passage: But I’ve never again found the corridor that leads to the third level at Grand
Central Station, although I’ve tried often enough. Louisa was pretty worried when I told
her all this, and didn’t want me to look for the third level any more, and after a while I
stopped; I went back to my stamps. But now we’re both looking, every weekend,
because now we have proof that the third level is still there. My friend Sam Weiner
disappeared! Nobody knew where, but I sort of suspected because Sam’s a city boy, and
I used to tell him about Galesburg ” I went to school there” and he always said he liked
the sound of the place. And that’s where he is, all right. In 1894.

Explanation of the above passage: But unfortunately, he could never 몭nd the way to the
third-level corridor again despite hard e몭orts. His wife Louisa was pretty worried when she
got to know about it all. After a while, he went back to 몭nding distractions with the help of
stamps. Somehow, Sam, the psychiatrist disappeared out of the blue. Charley suspected that
he had gone to Galesburg. He 몭nds himself in the time-space of 1894.
Passage: Because one night, fussing with my stamp collection, I found. Well, do you
know what a 몭rst-day cover is? When a new stamp is issued, stamp collectors buy some
and use them to mail envelopes to themselves on the very 몭rst day of sale; and the
postmark proves the date. The envelope is called a 몭rst-day cover. They are never
opened; you just put blank paper in the envelope.

Word Meaning: Fussing- show unnecessary or excessive concern about something

Explanation of the above passage: One night Charley came across a 몭rst-day cover. It is an
envelope (with a stamp on it) that stamp collectors mail to themselves on the 몭rst day of its
sale to mark the date. They are just blank inside and are not meant to be opened.

Passage: That night, among my oldest 몭rst-day covers, I found one that shouldn’t have
been there. But there it was. It was there because someone had mailed it to my
grandfather at his home in Galesburg; that’s what the address on the envelope said. And
it had been there since July 18, 1894 ” the postmark showed that” yet I didn’t remember
it at all. The stamp was a six-cent, dull brown, with a picture of President Gar몭eld.
Naturally, when the envelope came to Granddad in the mail, it went right into his
collection and stayed there ” till I took it out and opened it. The paper inside wasn’t
blank. It read:

Explanation of the above passage: That night he found by surprise one of his grandfathers
old 몭rst day covers. Someone had mailed it to his father at his home at Galesburg, as he saw
from the address on the envelope. The post mark showed that it had been there since July 18,
1894. The stamp had a picture of President Gar몭led on it. It was a six cent, dull brown colour
stamp. His grandfather had put put it in his stamp collection and the Charley now discovered
it. The paper inside and a letter written in it. The letter read as:

Passage: 941 Willard Street Galesburg,

Illinois

July 18, 1894

Charley

I got to wishing that you were right. Then I got to believing you were right. And, Charley,
it’s true; I found the third level! I’ve been here two weeks, and right now, down the street
at the Daly’s, someone is playing a piano, and they’re all out on the front porch singing
Seeing Nelly Home.And I’m invited over for lemonade. Come on back, Charley and
Louisa. Keep looking till you 몭nd the third level! It;s worth it, believe me!

Explanation of the above passage: The letter talked about how the writer wished his third
level story was true until he actually started believing it to be true. He had found the third
level and had been there for two weeks. He describes the place he was at that time. He asks
Charley and Louis to never stop searching for the third level and come back.
Charley and Louis to never stop searching for the third level and come back.

Passage: The note is signed Sam.

At the stamp and coin store I go to, I found out that Sam bought eight hundred dollar’s
worth of old-style currency. That ought to set him up in a nice little hay, feed and grain
business; he always said that’s what he really wished he could do, and he certainly can’t
go back to his old business. Not in Galesburg, Illinois, in 1894. His old business? Why,
Sam was my psychiatrist.

Explanation of the above passage: The letter had been signed o몭 as Sam. Charlie found
out from the coin store that he used to visit that Sam had bought old currency worth eight
hundred dollars., which was to be utilised in a hay, feed and grain business, which what he
always wished to do. He could not go back to his old business certainly not in Galesburg,
Illinois. The story ends at a mysterious note where Charlie is wondering that Sam is
psychiatrist.

The Third Level Question Answers

Read and Find out
1. What does the third level refer to?

A. Third level refers to an additional 몭oor at the Grand Central Station which originally
only had two levels. Charley was hallucinating one night while going home when he
reached the third level.

2. Would Charley ever go back to the ticket counter on the third level to buy
tickets to Galesburg for himself and his wife?

A. Charley went looking back for the third level that could take him and his wife to
Galesburg because he wanted to go back to his past. He wanted to go back to the world
that has not seen two of its deadliest wars that changed everything.

Read with insight

Read with insight
1. Do you think that the third level was a medium of escape for Charley? Why?

A. Yes, the third level of the Grand Central Station was a medium of escape for Charley.
Modern world o몭ers a lot of challenges and in order to take refuge from reality, one
might resort to day-dreaming or hallucination We all understand the miseries of the
modern world which is full of worry and pressure, thus, in order to take the burden
away from his shoulders and heap a sigh of relief, Charley resorted to escaping reality,
although unintentionally.

2. What do you infer from Sam’s letter to Charley?

A. The way Charley discovered Sam’s letter was rather peculiar. It was one of those 몭rst-
day covers people used to mail to themselves back in time with a blank page inside. So
to begin with, the cover had a letter in it and not a blank page in it. Secondly, the letter
dates back to 18 July, 1894 when Sam (the writer of the letter) didn’t exist because both
Sam and Charley exist in the present times. Thus, it is sound to conclude that it was just
a product of Charley’s imagination.

3. The modern world is full of insecurity, fear, war, worry and stress. What are the
ways in which we attempt to overcome them?

A. One cannot count on 몭ngers the negative aspects the modern lifestyle has to o몭er.
There is stress, pressure, fear, insecurity and worry. In order to relieve yourself of all
these miseries, one can indulge in creative activities from time to time. Making time for
yourself and what you love without worrying about a productive outcome is a crucial
thing many people tend to ignore in the hustle and bustle of daily lives. Secondly, one
can read a good book or even meditate. Long walks in the lap of nature are not to be
underestimated because nature has its own healing power. Apart from these, a short
weekend getaway, movie night with friends or even alone at home can be done in order
to dissociate oneself from the routine.

4. Do you see an intersection of time and space in the story?

A. Yes, there are a lot of instances that tell us about the intersection of time and space in
the story. First intersection being the one between the 몭rst two levels of the Grand
Central Station and its third level which is based somewhere in the 1890s whereas the
former exists in the present times. Also when Charley went to buy tickets for Galesburg
which existed in 1894 while he and his wife exists in the present times. Not to ignore
the old-fashioned architecture of the third level in contradiction to the modern interiors
of the 몭rst two levels. Lastly, the letter dated 18th July, 1982 that Charley found also
throws light upon the intersection of time and space as both the sender (Sam) and the
receiver (Charley) exist in the present times.

5. Apparent illogicality sometimes turns out to be a futuristic projection? Discuss.

A. While a lot of the world’s greatest inventions were made by people who were
criticised for their ideas. Audiences used to mock at them for being illogical. Sighting the
example of Thomas Edison who invented the light bulb, no one believed in him at 몭rst
but all he had was an idea and it’s realistic projection in mind. The idea here tells us how
important it is to sometimes follow one’s insight and have hope for it holds the capacity
to change the world through its futuristic projections.

6. Philately helps keep the past alive. Discuss other ways in which this is done.
What do you think of the human tendency to constantly move between the past,
the present and the future?

A. Philately does indeed help in keeping the treasures of past alive. It gives one a chance
to revisit and embrace the past of one’s existence. Some of the other ways in which it
can be done is by keeping a record of all the letters, ancient manuscripts, things that are
discontinued but were a signi몭cant part of the past, images, videos and written records
of experiences.
Human beings are a collection of all the experiences they have been through. Their
tendency to connect with the past from time to time helps them stay connected to the
roots while helping them to face the present and future challenges with more strength.
Connecting with the future on the other hand, is just as important to know the outcome
of one’s current actions and decisions. If one doesn’t seem satis몭ed with the realistic
interpretation of future, it can certainly help in altering current actions to direct towards
a better future.
