God

Are you there God? It's us, Shmoop. Whether you're a believer or nonbeliever, Christian, Buddhist or Jew, we can all appreciate the help of someone in times of trouble. For Delia, that someone is God. Her faith brings her a sort of peace:

Sometime or ruther, Sykes, like everybody else, is gointer reap his sowing. After that she was able to build spiritual earthworks against her husband. (26)

Hey, whatever gets you through the night, right? If we were Delia, we would need to have faith to keep on, too.
