"The Furnished Room"                        O. Henry

We introduce this evening another O. Henry story, "The Furnished Room," which gives us a nice taste of O. Henry's "other worldly" interests brought to bear in his most famous medium, the American short story, of which he is said to be one of its leading and most influential practitioners.  Tonight's story begins with a familiar premise: someone is looking for a room to rent.  It ends with one of those very surprising twists at the end, something which we are familiar in an O. Henry story.

And now, turn down the lights and join us for "The Furnished Room" by O. Henry....
