<dc:description id="description">A collection of O. Henry short stories, ordered by date of publication.</dc:description>
<meta id="long-description" property="se:long-description" refines="#description">
&lt;p&gt;William Sydney Porter, known to readers as O. Henry, was a true raconteur. As a draftsman, a bank teller, a newspaper writer, a fugitive from justice in Central America, a writer living in New York City, he told stories, at each stop and about each stop. His stories are known for their vivid characters who come to life, and sometimes death, in only a few pages. But the most famous characteristic of O. Henry’s stories are the famous “twist” endings, where the outcome comes as a surprise both to the characters and the readers. O. Henry’s work was widely recognized and lauded, so much so that a few years after his death an award was founded in his name to recognize the best American short story (now stories) of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection gathers all of his stories written in New York and published in various popular magazines of the time, as well as those he wrote while at the Houston &lt;i&gt;Post&lt;/i&gt; that were not attributed to him until many years after his death.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>This is the story that William Trotter told me on the beach at Aguas Frescas while I waited for the gig of the captain of the fruit steamer <i epub:type="se:name.vessel.ship">Andador</i> which was to take me abroad. Reluctantly I was leaving the Land of Always Afternoon. William was remaining, and he favored me with a condensed oral autobiography as we sat on the sands in the shade cast by the Bodega Nacional.</p>
<p>As usual, I became aware that the Man from Bombay had already written the story; but as he had compressed it to an eight-word sentence, I have become an expansionist, and have quoted his phrase above, with apologies to him and best regards to <em>Terence</em>.</p>

<p>Will you go, Penelope?” asked Cyrus.</p>
<p>“It is my duty,” I said. “It is a grand mission to go to Texas and carry what light I can to its benighted inhabitants. The school I am offered will pay me well, and if I can teach the savage people of that region something of our culture and refinement, I shall be happy.”</p>
