原文
"Oh, you're laughing at me. I know you think I'm abominably vain, but
I'm not. There really isn't one spark of vanity in me. And I'm never a
bit grudging about paying compliments to other girls when they deserve
them. I'm so glad I know you folks. I came up on Saturday and I've
nearly died of homesickness ever since. It's a horrible feeling, isn't

nobody! There were times when I could feel my soul turning a delicate
blue. Where do you hang out?"
"Thirty-eight St. John's Street."
