His ideas on modern feminine apparel are perhaps not yours or mine." "I should say not!" returned Geraldine angrily.
"It is a strange thing," she continued thoughtfully, "that, though you are so completely my opposite, I have always liked you. Even when you most jarred upon me with your prunes-and-prisms morality, I was never able quite to close my heart. I wonder why?" He could not repress a faint amusement at the flash of her old self.
