But she hugged them to her bosom,and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say:"My hair grows so fast,Jim!"
And then Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried,"Oh,oh!"
Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present.She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm.The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit.
