Summary
 One of the famous, and the bleakest short story by O. Henry.The basic ironic plot can be summarized in a sentence - a young man commits suicide in the same room where a young woman for whom he has vainly searched killed herself, but it is the musty atmosphere of the room and the suggestion that every place bears the traces of the lives that have inhabited it that makes the story so compelling.Public Domain (P)2016 Caracolivres Anthologies & Short Stories Classics Short Stories United States World Literature Witty
