Hints:
        May
        Harry
One day, after about two weeks, I told Harry about my theory. "If you'll just wait long enough," I said, "you'll see her coming up those stairs someday."
Next day when I came to work Harry was behind the counter of the magazine stand next to my checkroom. He looked at me sheepishly and said, "I had to get a job somewhere, didn't I?"
We never spoke of May any more and neither of us ever mentioned my theory. But I noticed that Harry always saw every person who came up the stairs.
Then came yesterday. I heard a cry from Harry. He ran across and grabbed a girl not ten feet from my window. She was small and dark and her eyebrows came to a little point in the middle.
For a while they just stood there laughing and crying and saying things without meaning. What had happened three years before was that May had come by bus, not by train, and in her telegram she meant "bus station" not "railroad station". She had waited at the bus station for days and had spent all her money trying to find Harry. Finally she got a job typing.
