She took her newf ound wealth and bought Jim a fabulous platinum fob chain for the pocket watch that had been in his family for generations. She worried briefly what Jim would think of her short, close-cropped curls, but it was too late. Jim came home from work and gave her a strange look. Della assumed he didn't approve of her haircut, but she assured him it was for a good reason. Jim told her that he didn't care what her hair looked like, then he handed her the present that he bought for her to explain himself. He had purchased tortoise shell combs with jeweled rims for her long tresses, which she no longer had. She replied that her hair would grow back quickly, so he didn't need to worry. Then she wanted him to open his present. He unwrapped the watch chain, and she asked if she could attach it to his watch. He replied that he sold the watch to buy her the hair combs.
