Dramatic Reading
by O. Henry

A Captain sits staring a letter, in deep dispair. The woman he loves has rejected his offer of marriage. The reason she gives is the difference in their ages. Determined not to let that stand in the way of his love, he decides to take the train and go visit her. She greets him graciously, but sticks to her reason for not accepting his proposal. He leaves having lost his battle. As he dresses for supper the next night, he tries to convince himself that all is for the better. After all, she is much older than him! A typical surprise ending by O. Henry.
