More from O. Henry
What is the world at its best but a little round field of the moving pictures with two walking together in it?
Turn up the lights — I don't want to go home in the dark.
A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.
A burglar who respects his art always takes his time before taking anything else.
Perhaps there is no happiness in life so perfect as the martyr's.
Take it from me — he's got the goods.
