Commentary
In this story, Feluda's age is 27, and Topshe's is exactly half of Feluda's i.e. 13 and a half.
This is the first of two novels of Feluda, that are set in Darjeeling. The other is Darjeeling Jomjomaat.
Sandip Ray mentions Darjeeling as one of the favourite locations of his father, and thus Satyajit Ray's first movie made from original written screenplay, Kanchenjungha, as well as the first Feluda novel was based out of Darjeeling.
In the first few Feluda stories, Topshe is mentioned as Feluda's maternal cousin. Later, he is confirmed as Feluda's paternal cousin. Thus, in the first few stories (including Feludar Goendagiri), Topshe's full name is Tapesh Ranjan Bose. It changes to Tapesh Ranjan Mitter later.
