"My kitty had a fit," observed Winnie, the first pause he could find. "And there are some letters for father," from Tom. "Patty has a new beau," interrupted Gypsy.

But Della drained her draught of joy to the dregs, and then tilted her cup anew. With croquet came her supremest joy, one that leavened her days till God took her, somewhere, we hope, where there is playtime. Della had no money to buy a croquet set, but she had something far better, an alert and undiscouraged mind.
She was there, she was radiantly at him, as if she had known and loved him for ten years ten years during which, however, she had never quite been able, in spite of undiscouraged attempts, to cure him, as goddesses had to cure shepherds, of his mere mortal shyness.
