A shriveled rose
This being that because the rose is dying (this is only one perspective)
The story entitled "Hearts and Hands" written by O. Henry is about the influx of passengers into a certain express, name B&M and the two young men with opposing physical characteristics handcuffed together. As they arrived to the express, the only available seat is that which faced an attractive young woman. One of the men is the marshal and the other one is his captivated criminal about to be taken to prison.
