Springtime À La Carte by O. Henry — Review

There is a legend or anecdote related to this story. One day an American writer, Irwin Cobb, was sitting with O. Henry in a New York cafe and he asked O. Henry where he found the plots for his works. "Everywhere." answered O. Henry. "For example, here's a story for you."And, picking up the menu, improvising, he told Cobb the future story, "Springtime À La Carte."

The story starts with an unusual introduction. “It was a day in March. Never, never begin a story this way when you write one.” After that, the story turns to the bill of fare and it has a happy-ending as a classical love story.
