04: Hearts and Hands by O’ Henry
- #4"My butterfly days are over", what kind of irony is there?Ans : There is a verbal irony here as Mr Easton was not talking of his good days with Miss Fairchild. Rather he was talking about being locked up and not being free like a butterfly. His freedom had been snatched away because of his wrong act. But Miss Fairchild thought that he was talking about his social days and as he had taken up a job of responsibility, he won't be able to move as freely as he was earlier.
