“The Love Drug” is a short story. It is

short story. It is well – written and easy

to read.
The story has a simple plot. In the beginning of the story the author wrote that Jim, a young car – driver, was in love with Rosy. Rosy was in love with him, but her father disliked Jim.

The most bright moment for me is “- Lord!

for me is “- Lord! I am the luckiest

man…. I looked at Rosy and said to myself, “Don’t play any tricks on that girl. She loves you, that’s clear enough.” Then I looked at her father and thought ‘There’s the man you should take care of. So I watched for my chance and put the powder in old Riddle’s coffee – see?”
