   usage: glad, delighted, gratified. delighted expresses
          a much higher degree of pleasure than glad. gratified
          always refers to a pleasure conferred by some human
          agent, and the feeling is modified by the
          consideration that we owe it in part to another. a
          person may be glad or delighted to see a friend, and
          gratified at the attention shown by his visits.
