Description

Poet David Mignot leaves Vernoy after a quarrel and meets three roads; each path, from forced marriage under the Marquis de Beaupertuys to Paris intrigue or a quieter return, tests whether destiny can be chosen. Spoken as when every fork still leads to the same hard question about who decides your end.

Author

O. Henry (William Sydney Porter, 1862–1910) was America's great popular short-story writer of the early twentieth century — a craftsman of coincidence, slang, and sudden revelation. After years in Texas and a prison sentence that shaped his later career, he settled in New York and turned the city's anonymous millions into characters worth knowing.
