Literature Review

“Hearts and Hands”

1. Why did the marshal deceive Miss Fairchild and how does that tie into the story’s title?

The marshal deceived Miss Fairchild by making her think he was the criminal, and that Miss Fairchild’s friend is the marshal. He did this because he didn’t want Miss Fairchild’s friend to be ashamed of himself and lose his last shred of dignity.
