Detailed commentary and analysis by Claire's Notes of 'The Furnished Room' by O. Henry
Cambridge iGCSE: Stories of Ourselves
A young man seeks a furnished room to rent in Manhattan's lower West Side at the turn of the twentieth century. He is seeking his lost love, Eloise Vashner, who has run away from home to seek fame and fortune as a musical performer in the big city. Everywhere he goes, he asks for information as to her whereabouts but has so far come up with nothing. The sinister housekeeper, Mrs Purdy, says she has no recollection of such a girl either - but does she know more than she's letting on?
