"I was comparing that singer very unfavorably with you. Your voice is so unlike what one usually hears in drawing-rooms."，"You have no proof of that."，"Then I don't believe you!" breaks out Geoffrey, angrily. "I am positive you want to marry me; and just because of some wretched fad you have got into your head you are determined to make us both wretched.""Yep; she's cannin' thimble-berries.
