Narrated with charm and nuance, this classic short story from master storyteller O. Henry delivers wit, warmth, and a clever twist that’s both surprising and heartwarming.
Colonel Escombe, a proud but impoverished Southern gentleman, finds himself reluctantly living in a Washington boarding house with his daughter, facing the quiet indignities of reduced circumstances. There, they meet the flamboyant and theatrical Hargraves, a vaudeville actor with an eye for character—and opportunity. What unfolds is a tale of mistaken identities, sly performances, and unexpected generosity, told with O. Henry’s trademark irony and affection for human nature.
Perfect for fans of clever storytelling and classic American literature, this short story delivers a satisfying blend of humor and heart in just a few well-crafted pages.
