Answered by admin @ 23/08/2021

The Price of Flowers” is a story written by Prabhat Kumar Mukhopadhyay. It underlines the bond of human relationship. This story really makes us understand how words and deeds act as a soothing effect.

This story portrays the life of a young poor girl named Alice Margarett Clifford(Maggie) who was far away from her beloved brother Frank. Gupta was an Indian living in London. Once he met Alice in a vegetarian restaurant. She was also called Maggie. She was working as a typist in a nearby office. Her mother made cakes to sell them on Saturdays. She was from a poor family. She wanted to know if Gupta was an Indian. Her brother Frank had gone to India as he was a soldier in the military service.

Gupta once went to Maggie’s house to meet her mother. Her mother was anxious to know about India as she heard that India was a dangerous place to live in. She believed that most of the Indians had the rare power to see a person living in a distant land by gazing at a crystal ring. Maggie and her mother wanted him to look into the crystal ring and say how Frank was. Gupta told them that he did not possess such a power.

One day Gupta received news that Maggie’s mother was not well. He went to their house immediately. Maggie wanted him to gaze into the crystal and say whether Frank was safe. Reluctantly, Gupta took the ring and told a lie that Frank was safe. Maggie’s mother was happy and soon became well.

Later Gupta was shocked to learn that Frank had died in the war. Gupta felt very sad. Then in the morning of his last day in London, Maggie came to see him. He was packing up things. She gave him a shilling to buy flowers and place them on her brother’s grave in Punjab
