Answer:
Sophie liked her brother Geoff more than anyone else in the family. Whenever she needed to tell something, it was to him. She also idealized him. He was older; three years out of school, an apprentice mechanic, who travelled for his work to the other end of the city. She supposed that there were areas of his life about which she knew nothing. He spoke little and she envied his silence. To her it seemed that when he was quiet, he was in those places she had never been. She felt that he knew some interesting people and she longed to know them. She wanted to be closer to her brother and hoped that some day he might take her with him.
She was conscious of a vast world that eagerly looked forward to her arrival. There saw herself riding there behind Geoff. She imagined him wearing new, shining black leathers and she a yellow dress with a kind of cape that flew out behind. She visualized the applause as the world rose to greet them.
