Every case of poverty in Delafield should be considered as a reflection on the town, as being preventable and curable by remedies which any town that is careful of its good name can apply. Delafield believes that beauty pays better than ugliness.
One sees that you are always troubling yourself about the right and wrong of things." "All very well for one's self," said Delafield, trying to laugh. "I hope I don't seem to you to be setting up as a judge of other people's right and wrong?" "Yes, yes, you do!" she said, passionately. Then, as he winced, "No, I don't mean that. But you do judge it is in your nature and other people feel it."
The churches of Delafield believe that all matters of social concern work, wages, housing, health, amusement, and morals are part of every church's business. Therefore they will not cease to urge their members always to deal with these matters as Christian citizens, not merely as Christians.
Delafield," cried Maria, laughing and rising from her chair. "Come, let us walk; it is a sin to shut ourselves up on such a morning. The subject must now he changed and the scene too."

Delafield declares it to be a subject that she never dares to approach, nor in her repeated refusals of matrimonial offers has Charlotte ever been known to allude to the desolation of her own heart. Her father is dead; but to her mother Miss Henley has in a great measure supplied his loss.
I have never heard you speak of her, and yet, if she lives in Delafield, you must know something about her. Your father is working hard at his business, but it is shocking how much money we have to spend to keep up our place in society properly. I know that he spends all his income every year; and if any thing should happen I cry my eyes out to think of it.
"Jacob Delafield is devoted to you. You should marry him, dear you should marry him." The room seemed to swim around her.
