An alternative ending to the story could be that Bob recognized Jimmy and left a note for him.

Explanation:

After Twenty Year is a short story written by O. Henry. The story is about two fast friends, Jimmy and Bob, who decide to meet exactly at the same place after twenty years. The ending that O. Henry gave to the story was Jimmy, who had become a cop, get his friend Bob arrested, a most wanted criminal.

An alternative ending to the story could be that Bob recognized Jimmy and left a note for him. It can be an alternative ending because Bob recognized that the tall man was not Jimmy because of his nose, then he must have recognized Jimmy's features as well.

So, an alternative ending is written below,

After the cop and Bob bid each other a good night, Bob stood there in the dark silent night. Bob had recognized the cop and knew he was Jimmy, his old friend. The irony of the situation was that they both recognized each other but could not reveal their identity because of the professions they have taken. One had become a faithful cop of his city, New York; while the other had taken on a profession of crime in the West.

So, after the cop left the place, Bob was happy to see his old friend after a long time. Bob also knew that Jimmy has recognized him, the most wanted criminal of the West. So, he left a note for him because he knew that he would make arrangements for his arrest.

The note said:

Dear Jimmy,

I had a great twenty minutes with you. I had recognized you and also knew that you recognized me and knew what profession I have taken.

I am happy that you still a man of your word, you fulfilled your promise by coming and meeting me. And, I also know that you are a faithful cop.

So, I am leaving this note for you!

Bye!

Bob.

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful

What is the meaning of each underlined word in these excerpts from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift? i think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation. some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. the word prodigious means . the word desponding means .
