Hello friend!

In the story ' HEARTS AND HANDS' by 'O HENRY', MR.EASTON was young, handsome, man with a bold, Frank countenance and manner. As soon as he entered the coach, Miss Fairchild, his old acquaintance, recognised him and got interested in talking to him. Mr. EASTON initially felt a little nervous and embarrassed because of his handcuffs, but he composed himself and clasped Miss Fairchild's fingers with his left hand and spoke to get with a smile. In seeing the expressions of horror and distress in Miss Fairchild's face, he immediately changed his expressions. However, he was interrupted by the man with whom he was handcuffed. Mr. Easton seemed to have migrated from the east to the west for better prospects . Since life in the west was so expensive and required more money, it seemed that Mr. Easton had taken recourse to counterfeiting. Mr. Easton had taken an easy recourse to make money and had been counterfeiting before he was caught and sentenced to seven years prisonment . Mr. Easton was fair to Miss Fairchild and did not keep her in the false hope of seeing her or having a relationship with her. When asked about the plan id returning to the east, Mr. Easton told her that ne was not likely to DO so soon. Perhaps, deep down his heart, he was aware of the fact that hidden the truth of his handcuffs from Miss Fairchild. Thus, it was clear that ne would not be able to continue his relationship with Miss Fairchild any longer. He also seemed to be aware of Miss Fairchild's nature that she was more concerned with social images than reality.
