Question

s prized possessions.
(2) The name of the queen mentioned here
(3) The name of the king as the Janitor
(4) Della's hair is compared to which thing.
Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Young in which they both took
e a mighty pride. One was Jim's gold watch that had been his father's and his grandfather's. The
other was Della's hair. Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would
have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels
and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the basement, Jim
would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to see him pluck at his beard from
envy.
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.
