Curtis and Willa Cather, ''The World and the Parish: Willa Cather's Articles and Reviews 1893-1902, Volume 1'', University of Nebraska Press, 1970, page 307〕 ==Plot summary== Out in Chicago on Christmas Eve, two shabby-looking men are considering getting food after they have not been eating for days. Crawford is too tired to walk however, so William goes off by himself. He considers stealing the food as he cannot pay for it, but when a woman drops a parcel he gives it to her instead of running off with it. He feels as if he is a failed thief, in the same manner as he has failed at everything - college, journalism, real estate, performing. He then walks into a house in an attempt to steal the jewellery, and his mother finds him there. She says she forgives him for everything; his father remains distant. They have dinner and he feels warm again.
