The Railway Children
(THE OLD GENTLEMAN)
I refer to the novel “The Railway Children” by Edith Nesbit. Among all the
characters in the novel, the character I admire the most is the old gentleman because he is
kind,helpful and generous. He travels regularly on the morning train and sees the children waving to him. He opens up to them readily when they need help. When Bobbie writes to him
for help to get better food for their sick mother, he gives generously.
Again, when Bobbie approaches him for help to investigate the truth about her
father, he tells her that he will do his best and he has high hopes that things will turn
out well because he believes in her father‟s innocence. In the end he is also rewarded when
his only grandson, who is injured during a paper-chase, is rescued from the train tunnel by
the children.
When he learns of this, his generosity ensures that the children have a comfortable
life with their mother. He gets the family a housemaid and a cook while his grandson stays
with the family. He eventually helps to get the children‟s father released.
