Delia would've protested, but it was a reasonable request and she didn't like to say no to people. Personally she didn't think her voice was anything special, but her mother had always taught her not to tell other people what to think, so she kept her mouth shut and did as she was told. Flipping through the MP3 player, her face lit up when she found Ella Fitzgerald. Selecting "Someone to Watch Over Me," she let Ella croon the opening verse and joined in in her sweet mezzo-soprano on the refrain , matching Ella's every inflection.

"There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me,
I'm I a little lamb who's lost in the wood,
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me."

It was interesting - for all her patent lack of interest in boys, she sure sang about them a lot, and her expression was good enough that that lack of interest was anything but apparent.
