What did Charley notice as he came out on the third level at the Central Park Station in the lesson third level by Jack Finney?
Grgrsanjay
Charley noticed that everyone at the station was dressed like eighteen-ninety something.
He never saw so many beards, side burns, and fancy moustaches in his life. A woman he saw was wearing a dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves and a skirt to the top of her high-buttoned shoes.
On the tracks, he saw a locomotive, a very small Currier and Ives locomotive with a funnel shaped stack.

∙ 12y agoThe clerk at the ticket counter stared hard at Charley and also glanced at his fancy hat bands. But he figured the fare.
When Charley was about to pay the fare for two tickets, he told him that it wasn't money and if Charley tried to cheat him, he wouldn't get far.
Charley went away from there as fast as he could.

- The third level was entirely different and old-fashioned. There were fewer ticket windows. The information booth was made of wood. The lights were open flame gas lights. There were brass spittoons on the floor. Men had beards and sideburns. Women wore old-fashioned dresses and high buttoned shoes. The railway engine was small with a funnel shaped stack. Everything looked a century old. He walked to the newsboy. There he glanced at “The World”. The lead story was about President Cleveland. Later, Charley found out from the library files that it was printed on June 11, 1894.
Charley wanted to go to Galesburg. He had been there in his childhood days. It was a wonderful town with tremendous stress and frame houses. In 1894, it was a heaven of peace and tranquillity. People lived a carefree life. Therefore, he asked for two tickets to Galesburg. He paid the fare in modern notes which were different from those in 1894. The clerk thought the notes were fake and Charley was trying to cheat him. He threatened to get him arrested. Charley immediately turned around and fled as fast as he could.

∙ 12y agoCharley first thought that he was on the second level, but then saw a room which was smaller, there were fewer ticket windows, and train gates, and the information booth was wooden and old-looking.
A man in the booth wore a green eyeshade with long black sleeve protectors.
The lights were dim and flickered because they were open-flame gaslights.

When Charlie reached the third level, he felt that the surroundings have been changed as he had never seen men with those long beards, designing moustaches and sideburns and women with old-fashioned clothes and long buttoned shoes. The lights were dim, ticket counters were small and fewer in number, enquiry booth was made of wood. He thought that he is in the past, so to confirm he asked the newspaper boy to see the date of the newspaper. He didn't get the date but when he saw the name of the newspaper- 'the world', he was shocked because newspapers with this name had stopped publishing, then he visited the library to see the date of the newspaper and he got that the newspaper had been printed on '11 July 1894'. Now he was confirmed that he is at the third level. He was very happy because now he could go to Galesburg with his wife and can live a peaceful life compared to the present city life. Went he went to the ticket counter to buy two tickets to Galesburg, he realized that he does not have the old currency of the eighteen-nineties, so he returned to get the old currency in change of new currency.

∙ 11y agoCharley doesn't normally take the subway, so as he was wandering around, trying to find the train that he was going to take, he went down the wrong hallways and ended up on the 3rd level.
