Henry's short story "After Twenty Years" gleans from its reading is the value that friendship should hold in one's life. For, it is out of respect for the strong, deep friendship of his youth that Jimmy Wells, now Patrolman Wells, does not arrest 'Silky' Bob, a criminal wanted in Chicago.
The title of “After Twenty Years” is ironic because two old friends are reuniting after a long time, but they are now on opposite sides of the law. When Bob sees Jimmy, he does not recognize him. They were young men when they last saw each other.
