Whenever Baldy went for anything he usually but this is not Baldy sstory. He poured out a third drink that was larger by a finger than the first and second. Baldy was in consultation; and the consultee is worthy of his hire. Id be king if I was you, said Baldy, so positively that his holster creaked and his spurs rattled. Webb Yeager pushed back his flat-brimmed Stetson, and made further disorder in his straw-coloured hair. The tonsorial recourse being without avail, he followed the liquid example of the more resourceful Baldy. If a man marries a queen, it oughtnt to make him a two-spot, declared Webb, epitomising his grievances. Sure not, said Baldly, sympathetic, still thirsty, and genuinely solicitous concerning the relative value of the cards. By rights you re a king. If I was you, Id call for a new deal. The cards have been stacked on you Ill tell you what you are, Webb Yeager. What? asked Webb, with a hopeful look in his pale-blue eyes.

Heart of the West Classic Reprint O Henry Books
This is a humorous collection of short stories about the old West. At first I had a problem with the slang used from that time period, but enjoyed the book very much, and would recommend it to someone reading for enjoyment and relaxation. There was only one story in it that I was disappointed in, but all in all it was a good book.Product details

Heart of the West Classic Reprint O Henry Books Reviews
O. Henry is great, but the edition has NO table of contents and no breaks between stories. You cannot identify, find, or go to an individual story.
Worthless!
recommend
Great book, done.
O. Henry wrote many short stories about the wild West of the late 19th century, and this volume contains most of his very best.
"Refreshing" is the first adjective that comes to mind in describing "Heart of the West". I hadn't read any of O. Henry's stories in many, many years, and it is easy to forget how agile he can be in his writing in bringing about the "typical" O. Henry ending. I was pleased to find subtlety and sensitivity that I had missed in my youthful readings of O. Henry. In the title story, for example, he is able to present two simple cowpokes discussing (and ultimately resolving) somewhat nuanced marital issues. I purchased this volume in order to see what the original Cisco Kid was like. I was certainly enlightened in that regard, though I should say that that story itself is a dark, albeit characteristically clever, tale.
