The first allusion in "The Gift of the Magi", is "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." The second is, "had King Solemn 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." The last is the describing of The Magi, which were wise men- wonderful wiseman- who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger.
