Charley had got his three hundred dollars out of the bank and got them changed into old-style currency so that he could go back to the third level and buy the tickets to Galesburg. For his three hundred dollars he had got only two hundred dollars old-style currency but he didn't mind that. The only consolation was that in the year 1894, the two hundred dollars would have more value, as things were much cheaper than they were now.
Charley loved stamp collecting. Charley argued that his own grandfather lived at a time when things were pretty nice and peaceful and he was the one who had actually started his collection of stamps. Charley refused to believe that his stamp collecting was 'a temporary refuge' from reality.
Despite Charley's efforts to go to the third level, he was unable to find it again. He shared his experience with his wife, who got worried. He went back to his stamps. His friend Sam had disappeared and nobody knew where he was but Charley was certain that he had found the third level and gone there. Charley's description of the place had fascinated him and he had gone there in 1894.
The man whom Charley met, wore a derby hat, a black four-button suit with tiny lapels, and he had a big, black handlebar moustache. He pulled out a golden watch from his vest pocket, looked at the time and frowned.
In "Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket" by Jack Finney, the paper Charley finds contains notes for an important work project that could lead to a promotion. It represents his life's work, and as he fights to reclaim it from the ledge outside his apartment window, he is faced with the choice between his ambition and his life.

Charley felt there was a tunnel that nobody knew about, which was feeling its way under the city at that moment too, on its way to Times Square, and maybe another to Central Park. Grand Central, he felt, was like an exit, a way of escape and perhaps that's how he got into the tunnel. He didn't want to tell the psychiatrist, for he would not have believed him and would have wanted to treat him.
to teach a lesson (in a classroom context): donner un cours to teach a lesson (you're angry at someone): donner une leçon (this is bound to be understood at least as a physical threat)
The narrator met a psychiatrist because he was sure he had been on the third level of the Grand Central Station. He was also aware of the fact that only two levels of the station existed and the presidents of the rail road would even swear on a stack of timetables to prove this point. The need to meet a psychiatrist became urgent because he was in a dilemma.

Jack Finney Described Galesburg as follows, Galesburg was a wonderful town with big old frame houses, huge lawns, and tremendous trees whose branches met overhead and roofed over the streets. In 1894, summer evenings were twice as long, and people sat on their lawns, the men smoking.
It means providing context for a lesson. You teach addition and subtraction framed as "How many cookies do you have left?".
