The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Whirligigs by O. Henry: Many tales are told along the border of his impudent
courage and daring. But he was not one of the breed of
desperadoes who have seasons of generosity and even of
softness. They say he never had mercy on the object
of his anger. Yet at this and every Christmastide it is
well to give each one credit, if it can be done, for what-
ever speck of good he may have possessed. If the Frio
Kid ever did a kindly act or felt a throb of generosity in his
heart it was once at such a time and season, and this is
the way it happened.
One who has been crossed in love should never breathe
