Hearts and Hands book summary
On a luxury train heading west, a young woman named Miss Fairchild encounters an old acquaintance, Mr. Easton. To her surprise, he is handcuffed to a grim-looking man. As Easton tries to hide his embarrassment, the rougher man intervenes, claiming Easton is the marshal and he is the convict being taken to prison. O. Henry’s "Hearts and Hands" is a brief, elegant masterpiece that showcases his signature wit and a touching display of human kindness, reminding us that true nobility is often found where we least expect it.
