Unaccustomed as I am to post in this forum, I think I have a game that may amuse more than a few of you. 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

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. A Southern gentleman would never offer to substitute vile money in place of honoring a promise to a lady. What an insult.
