So that he could look for his friend Jimmy Wells..

The short story "After Twenty Years" is one of over 113 short stories written by O. Henry, during a three-year period between 1902 and 1905. The New York World, where he worked during that period, only allowed him the space of one page for a story. Therefore, this particular short story, like most of the others, is very short. The story takes place around 10 p.m. along a dark, windy New York City business avenue, mostly within the darkened doorway of a closed hardware store. This particular location had been a restaurant until five years ago. The weather worsens as the drama builds going from "chilly gusts of wind with a taste of rain" to a "fine, cold drizzle falling, and wind had risen from its uncertain puffs into a steady blow." The plot begins with a policeman "on the beat" who discovers a man standing in the dark doorway. The man then proceeds to explain why he is there. He and his best friend, Jimmy Wells had parted exactly twenty years ago to make their fortunes and had promised to meet at that spot "After Twenty Years". He had gone west and gotten rich and was sure his friend, Jimmy would meet him if at all possible. They talked a while and the policeman carried on.

In "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin, Silky Bob, a character mentioned in passing, does not return to New York; rather, the focus is on Louise Mallard and her reaction to her husband's reported death. The story explores themes of freedom and identity as Louise grapples with the newfound independence she feels upon hearing the news. Ultimately, it is her husband's unexpected return that leads to her tragic demise, highlighting the constraining nature of marriage at the time. Silky Bob's mention serves to contrast Louise's experiences and desires.
