The narrator arrived in Paris, where he got to know that Strickland lived in the cheapest hotel without any woman. While chatting with him Charles opened the secret that he had become interested in art. The narrator wanted Charles return home, but he refused because he didn’t want to know anything about his wife and children, as well as other people’s opinion about him. Mrs. Strickland was shocked as she couldn’t understand Charles’ sudden devotion to art. Latter Mr. Strickland started her own typewriting business while her sister took care about her children. Five years later the narrator moved to Paris where he met his old friend Dirk Strove, who was a not good artist. As things turned out Dirk knew Strickland and could arrange a meeting with him.
