Henry published in 1907 in his collection The Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories. Set in Greenwich Village, it depicts characters and themes typical of O. Henry's works. A woman nicknamed Johnsy (her full name is Joanna) had come down with pneumonia, and is now close to death. Outside the window of her room, the leaves fall from an ivy vine. Johnsy decides that when the last leaf drops, she too will die, while her roommate Sue, who stays with her, tries to tell to stop thinking so pessimistically. In the same apartment building, an elderly, frustrated artist named Behrman lives below Johnsy and Sue. Mr Behrman has been claiming that he will paint a masterpiece, even though he has never even attempted to start. Sue visits Behrman, telling him that Johnsy, who is dying of pneumonia, has come to believe that she will die when the last leaf falls off of the vine outside her window. Behrman scoffs at this as foolishness, but—as he is protective of the two young artists—he decides to visit Johnsy and see the vine from her window.
