from previous--

hureen was  so  proud of  her  extraordinary  looks, she  compared  hers  with  her  friend  mashargan who  was  going  steady  with  gibran,  --a  handsome  man  , sought  after  and  hureen asks  him how  did  he   fall in love  with  a  woman  with  such  ordinary looks  whom no  other  man would like  to  see  twice,  he  too  playfully  asks  how  many had  been interested  in her  looks, he  added  laughingly  there  was  barbeque for  the  party  if  he  had  been aware  that  mashargan was  not  given much  attention  , he  would  have  arranged  special  diet  for  her,, it  was  meant   as  ajoke  because  he  was  also  shrewd  and  twisted  hureen"s   comments
