The Five-Forty-Eight
“The Five-Forty-Eight” is a 1954 short story by John Cheever originally published in ''The New Yorker'' and collected in ''The Stories of John Cheever.'' The story is about a businessman called Blake, who is accosted on a train at gunpoint by his former secretary, named Miss Dent. The woman is mentally ill, and is particularly upset with how Blake left her after a one-night stand and then fired her. The story is noteworthy because its focus is primarily on Blake’s perception of those around him, from which stems an anti-social history. Though the woman’s mental state is somewhat deteriorated, Cheever communicates that her perception of reality is more advanced than Blake’s.
==Film, TV and theatrical adaptations==
The story has been adapted for the theatre and has appeared in this form on the radio. It was also adapted into a 1960 episode of ''Alfred Hitchcock Presents'', starring Zachary Scott and Phyllis Thaxter.
A 1979 television adaptation aired on PBS as ''3 by Cheever: The 5:48'', with Laurence Luckinbill and Mary Beth Hurt in the lead roles.
