In the O.Henry story, of which the title is in the Subject box, a former slave must decide whether to give the watch he brings with him to the wearer of the blue tie, or to the wearer of the black tie. Read the story, and vote as to which color tie is worn by the proper recipient. Scroll down 1/3. Right answer not given. http://sailor.gutenberg.org/etext98/optns10.txt Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Thimble,Thimble #120912 01/23/2004 3:00 AM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky I was a little confused when the page led into what seemed to be a completely different story, but without a new title. In glancing down through it, I never saw another mention of the Carterets. But that is of no consequence; the true heir to the watch has to be Mr. Blue-tie. Black-Tie wheeled around to his desk, wrote in a check-book and tore out the check ... (and) laid the check within easy reach of Miss De Ormond's hand.
