Hartley and Robbins meet one another in a building so near to the railroad that the smell of coal unceasingly wafts in through the open windows. A detective enters the room where they are chatting and tells Hartley that he has found 'the address' of the girl. Who is this girl and why is she so special that Hartley promises her everything to persuade her to go with him? O. Henry gives us the answer to the mystery in an explosive surprise, even by his own standards.American short story master O. Henry is best known for his pithy, witty scores and surprise endings. In doing so he made commonplace experiences extraordinary and memorable. His work has been immortalised in the popular 1952 film 'O. Henry's Full House' starring Fred Allen, Anne Baxter, Marilyn Monroe and Jeanne Crain. -

O. Henry

O. Henry (1862-1910) had a short but colourful life. Born William Porter in Greensboro, North Carolina, he initially worked as a pharmacist before moving into journalism. In 1896 he was arrested for embezzling funds while working as a bookkeeper for a bank.

In a moment of madness, he absconded on his way to the courthouse before his trial and fled to Honduras for six months. He returned to face trial after learning that his wife was dying of tuberculosis and served three years in jail. While in prison, he adopted the pen name O. Henry, and after his release he found great fame and popularity as a short story writer.
