"Where is Roger really?" some one asked, but at that instant Ethel Blue's nut and Della's caught fire and burned steadily side by side without any demonstrations, and every one looking on was so absorbed in translating the meaning of the blaze that no one pursued the question.
We are also compelled to think half wickedly with Amy what pity it was Jude Rush fell down a precipice breaking his neck, thus giving his wife liberty to capture her own good master and what pity it was too that Jude Thornton Rush did not fall down some precipice and did not break his neck before, spider-like, he had woven his fine web, and said softly to Della's daughter: "Will you walk into my parlor?"
"That's it; larger at one end than the other, while a leaf that is almost round, is called 'rotund." "Named after Della," observed Della's brother in a subdued voice that nevertheless caught his sister's ear and caused an oak twig to fly in his direction.
Sometimes," said he, taking Della's hand, and smiling upon her the same smile which had so lightened her heart months before, "sometimes give a thought to the old man, whose bones will drop to dust in foreign lands, but who, to the latest hour of his existence, will cherish his love and fond remembrance of you."
Remember you are all the child that's left me now. All my hopes are upon you try never, never to disappoint me!" Mr. Delancey rarely spoke so feelingly it was a rare manner for him, and the effect of his words was very strange. Della's elegantly embroidered kerchief was clasped suddenly to her face, and she burst into a violent fit of weeping. "Della, how un-self-possessed! you astonish me."

"I can win her if I will," was his confident thought at the first. "I will win her at all hazards," was his later iron purpose. And Althea! Oh! is it thus that the child of Ellice doth come to Della's daughter? And what hath this daughter as a shield from the tempter? Came he not unto sinless Eve in Paradise; unto her even who had seen the Eternal Majesty, and listened to His voice?
So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her, rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat.
Few girls, in Della's position, would have talked with a slave as she talked to Minny would ever have thought of placing matters in so strong a light before her; but Della was guileless and innocent at heart, with a child-spirit in some things, yet more than woman's strength in others.
