And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas ! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat.

alas : ああ（悲嘆・後悔・哀れみ・恐れなど）
a quick feminine change to ～ : 女性特有の～への早変わり
wail : 嘆き悲しみ、泣き叫び
necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat : その部屋の主人はすぐに力を尽くしてその悲しみを慰めなくてはならなかった。
The Combs : Della が欲しがっていた櫛
side and back : 横髪と後ろ髪用の
worship : 崇拝する、熱愛する
