Question

Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table.

"Don't make any mistake, Dell," he said, "about me. I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less. But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first."

“I don’t think there’s anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less.”
“But if you’ll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first.”

Answer 1

“I don’t think there’s anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less.”

This shows Jim’s love isn’t just about Della’s appearance—changes in her looks wouldn’t lessen his feelings.
