How does Sophie include her brother Geoff in her fantasy of her future?

Solution

Geoff is an apprentice mechanic and he goes out daily for his work to the far side of the city. He remains quiet and the words have to be prized out of him like a stone from the ground. Sophie is much jealous of his silence. While Geoff is not speaking, Sophie thinks that he is away somewhere to those places and people which she has never seen. She wished and imagined that her brother might take her some day with him. She imagined herself riding behind Geoff in a fine yellow dress.

Further Sophie asked her brother Geoff not to tell anything about her meeting with Casey. Then Geoff told that Casey would be having a string of girls but Sophie denied saying that Casey was not that type as he himself had told her so. Geoff cleared that no boy would tell a girl such thing. Sophie further told that she spoke to him first and requested his autograph for little Derek but neither had pen or a paper. Rather he assured for his autograph for the next week in case she cared to meet him. Thus Sophie included Geoff in her fantasy of her future.
