Quote Response #3

I absolutely LOVED the story The Gift of the Magi. One quote that jumped out at me most was, "Don't make any mistake, Dell," he said, "about me. I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less. But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first" (O Henry). This quote just shows how much he loves Della too. The whole story is about Della doing whatever she can to get a present for Jim, and then he comes home and has been doing the same for her. I think that this quote is special because he tells her that it doesn't matter what she looks like, he will always love her. It's romantic and I really enjoyed the fact that Jim went out of his way for her as well.
