Going through the work-in-progress to retcon a character to be a glasses-wearer because it's become an important plot point later, and I realise the reason I'm squinting at the screen is because I've forgotten to put my own specs on. #literaryirony

O Henry - The Furnished Room
‘The Furnished Room’ is a short story by the US short-story writer O. Henry, whose real name was William Sydney Porter (1862-1910). His stories are characterised by their irony, their occasional sentimentality, and by their surprise twist endings. All of these things became something of a signature feature, and ‘The Furnished Room’, which is one of O. Henry’s more melodramatic tales, showcases them all to some extent.
