"Oh, nobody in particular. Just somebody, don't you know."
"And don't you want to marry?" asked Jack, amused.
"No. No, I don't. Not any of the people I meet. No! Not that sort of man. No. Never!"
He burst into a laugh, and she, glancing in surprise at his amusement, suddenly chuckled.
"Don't you like men?" he asked, still laughing.
"No. I don't. I dislike them very much."
Her quick, cool, alert manner of statement amused him more than anything.
"Not any men at all?"
"No. Not yet. And I dislike the idea of marriage. I just hate it. I don't think I'd mind men so much, if it weren't' for marriage in the background. I can't do with marriage."
"Might you like men without marriage?" he asked, laughing.
