Answer:
In "The Last Leaf," pneumonia is personified in different ways. First, O'Henry refers to pneumonia as "a cold, unseen stranger." This stranger "stalked" about Greenwich Village and laid his "icy fingers" on his victims. ... Pneumonia is also called "the red-fisted, short-breathed old duffer."
