The broker, Harvey Maxwell usually

expressionless countenance, gave a mild

interest and surprising look to the pitcher,

Confidential Clerk in the Office when his

employer briskly entered at half past nine in

the company with his young stenographer.

Story by O. HENRY

The young lady had been Maxwell’s stenographer for a

year.

She was beautiful in a way that was decidedly

unstenographic. She looked different from all days, she

wore no chains, bracelets or lockets. Her dress was plain

grey but fitted her figure perfectly. In her neat black

turban hat was the golden-green wing of Macaw.

On this morning she was softly and shyly radiant. Her

eyes were bright and the expression was a happy one.

The office of the broker was full of files, with the phone in

ring, full of work.

Harvey asked pitcher about the new stenographer, who just

came. He asked that why did you call new stenographer.

Pitcher replied, that you only told me yesterday to call the

agency and ask for new stenographer.

So it shows that Harvey forgets the things very quickly and

he works very hard through out the day.

HARVEY’S DESK WOULD LOOK L IKE

So he sent the new stenographer back and let the

stenographer work here only, as she looked special also.

The workers were partying outside in the lunch break and the

broker was buzy working.

He kept on looking at the stenographer as he looked

something special in her than other days. He saw the pitcher

talking to her.

He thought if he didn’t asked her out day today then, he only

would be sorry for that.

He jumped from the ticker to ‘phone, from

desk to door and got to the stenographer

to ask her out, he asked briskly and quickly

as if he had to rush out for more work.

The Stenographer replied, that you didn’t

even remember that We MARRIED last

night only.
