O. Henry is best noted for his wit, characterization and twist endings. This prominent writer wrote primarily about his own time the early 20th century. Most stories were set in New York and the characters were ordinary people. His brilliant writing style and his optimistic and often playful tone make O Henry's stories a delight to read. 

   When reading the story for the second time it's quite noticable that the author uses irony and detailed description of the main characters and their actions in order to make the plot of the story intricate but emotional and humorous.

  From the point of view of presentation the text is the mixture of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person narrative with some insertions of direct speech. It is obvious that the narrator is merely an unspecified entity or uninvolved person that conveys the story and is not a character of any kind within the story being told.  As a sipmle observer of everything what goes on within the story the  narrator describes its main characters and the setting of the events. 

  At the very beginninf of the text the reader gets to know about 18-year old girl Masie and her occupation.   The plot centres around Masie's place of work - a Big Store where she sells gent's gloves.  The narrative flow is straight; the climax of the plot  development is presented  when the young girl gets aquainted with a millionaire named Irving Carter who is willing to ask Masie for a date. The point is that he tried to impress attractive, but at the same time hardworking girl with his money. 

  The anticlimax  is shown in Masie's attitute towards this man. Despite his wealth and belonging to "upper society" a young girl does not think of  Cartet as a different person. She still believes him to be a regular man, one of a thousand.
