Anyone know the story of hearts and hands? If anyone know thn plz tell​

Answer 1

Answer:

Henry's 'Hearts and Hands' is a story of mistaken identity involving Miss Fairchild, Mr. Easton, and the marshal who is escorting Easton on a train to Leavenworth for the crime of counterfeiting.

In fact, it is the hands which are significant for revealing the true identities of the two men. Miss Fairchild was misled by the unnamed man about the identity of Mr Easton as he wanted to save him from an embarrassing situation.

The twist comes at the end when we learn that the unnamed man is, in fact, the true marshal, and that Easton is the one heading to prison. The marshal does not want to humiliate Easton in front of an old friend by showing Miss Fairchild that Easton is the true convict.
