jim was never late. della doubled the fob chain in her hand and sat on the corner of the table near the door that he always entered. then she heard his step on the stair away down on the first flight, and she turned white for just a moment. she had a habit of saying a little silent prayer about the simplest everyday things.
in this excerpt, the dillingham youngs are described as a couple that
practices religion
enjoys fancy meals
follows daily routines
enjoys living in the city

Explanation:

The excerpt shows a set daily routine: coffee is made at 7 o'clock, the frying pan is ready for chops, Jim is never late, and Della waits by his usual entry door. These details point to established daily patterns, while there is no mention of fancy meals, city enjoyment, and the silent prayer is a small habit, not the main focus of the couple's description.

Answer:

follows daily routines
