Hearts And Hands Character Sketch
Hearts is an 'evasion-type' trick-taking playing card game for four players, although most variations can accommodate between three and six players. It was first recorded in America in the 1880s and has many variants, some of which are also referred to as 'Hearts'; especially the games of Black Lady and Black Maria which are now the most popular games of this family in America and Britain. Imagery- The author vividly describes the setting and characters. Among the newcomers were two young men, one of handsome presence with a bold, frank countenance and manner; the other a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed.

Hearts And Hands O Henry Pdf​CAN you judge a smile who is gay,
Nor once be misled by the token?
I know that I laughed aloud one day,
⁠From a heart that was almost broken.
But my laughter rang false, do you say?
⁠Or tears followed very soon after.
You are wrong for I wept not that day,
⁠And my laugh was the merriest laughter.
That my grief was not deep, you maintain,
⁠Since I found it so easy to cover;
But I tell you I writhed with the pain,
⁠And one writhes not when anguish is over.
For my own part I scarcely believe
⁠That sighing can only mean sadness;
And I wholly misdoubt, you perceive,
⁠That laughter must always prove gladness.
Are you sure it is grief when a tear starts?
⁠Can you trust smiles of mirth in all places?
If aught can be falser than human hearts,
⁠It must surely be human faces!

i)The coach of the eastbound train, B & M Express. The only vacant seat left was a ‘reversed one facing the attractive young woman.' This tells us that the coach was crowded.

ii)Miss Fairchild. She is described as an elegantly dressed, pretty young woman who had all the luxuries and who loved travelling.

iii)The linked couple were Mr Easton and the marshal because they were handcuffed together.
iv)At first, she saw them indifferently with a ‘distant, swift disinterest.' As soon as she recognized Mr Easton, she smiled at them and started conversing.


i) Mr Easton. His right hand was engaged as it was handcuffed to the left hand of the marshal.
ii)As soon as the lady saw Mr Easton being handcuffed, her look changed to bewildered horror. She was no longer glad; ‘the glow faded from her cheeks' and ‘her lips parted in a vague, relaxing distress.'
iii)The glum-faced man spoke as if Mr Easton was the marshal. The glum-faced man was a convict being taken to Leavenworth prison for counterfeiting.

iv)In reality, the glum-faced man was the marshal who was taking the convict Mr Easton to the prison. The marshal, to save Mr Easton from embarrassment in front of Miss Fairchild, presented himself as the convict.
v)The story begins with two people, Mr Easton and the glum-faced man hand-cuffed together. It is the handcuffing that lends to the ‘Hands' part of the title. In fact, it is the hands which are significant for revealing the true identities of the two men. Miss Fairchild was misled by the unnamed man about the identity of Mr Easton as he wanted to save Mr Easton from an embarrassing situation by revealing that he was a convict and was being taken by him to the prison. It was an astute passenger in the coach, who discovered that a marshal would not handcuff his own right hand with that of a convict, as was the case with Mr Easton and the marshal.


i)She called Easton, a marshal because she was told so by the real marshal. Moreover, her own fantasies did not allow her to suspect the real marshal's revelation about Mr Easton.
Easton, in reality, was a convict being taken to a prison on charges of counterfeiting.
ii)He was going to be imprisoned at Leavenworth prison for counterfeiting.

A)Money has a way of taking wings unto itself: Money has the ability to make one feel respected and dignified. Money can make one fly and soar high.
b)To keep step with our crowd: To compete with the crowd or to feel one with the high class society in Washington.
Hearts And Hands Character Analysisiv)Easton said he was making money but he needed more in order to fit in high society so he took up the position of a marshal in the west.
v)She was not likely to see Easton in Washington soon, because he was to be confined in Leavenworth prison. Miss Fairchild, assumed that he would be extremely busy in his new job as the marshal.


Hearts And Hands Character Sketchi)The girl was fascinated with the handcuffs. Easton was handcuffed to the marshal, because he was being taken to the Leavenworth prison for counterfeiting.
ii)Miss Fairchild was glaring at the handcuffs. The glum-faced man asked her not to worry as it was Mr Easton's business as a marshal to handcuff the convict to keep from getting away.
iii)The word ‘Hearts' in the title is indicative as relationship something more than friendship between Miss Fairchild and Mr Easton. When she saw Mr Easton, there appeared a lovely smile on her face and her cheeks turned pink. She even told him that she loved the West, suggesting that she would settle down with him in the West.

iv)Mr Easton would be imprisoned in Leavenworth prison on the charges of counterfeiting. ' My butterfly days are over' signifies that Easton's good and adventurous days of making money by deceiving people are over.

i)What The glum-faced man interrupted the conversation between Easton and Miss Fairchild and requested Easton that he should be taken to the smoker room.
To prevent Mr Easton from revealing that he is a convict the glum-faced fellow did so.
ii)The glum-faced man said he was in need of a drink and a smoke. He asked Mr Easton to accompany him to the smoker car as he was ‘half dead for a pipe.'
iii)Generally, an officer's left hand is handcuffed to the right hand of the convict.
The information is necessary to end the story as it reveals that in reality Mr Easton was the convict, and the glum-faced man was the marshal.


It is the ‘hearts' part of the title that explains the theme. It is because of having a compassionate heart that the marshal told a lie to Miss Fairchild. He did this to save Mr Easton from the humiliation of being identified as a convict in front of an old friend. He told Miss Fairchild that Mr Easton was the marshal and he was the convict, who was being taken to the prison by Mr Easton. The glum-faced man had golden heart. The effect of the lie was immediate in the response of Miss Fairchild. She showed relief that Mr Easton was not convicted. She was shocked and horrified before the marshal told the lie to her.
