And diametrically opposed?英文原著 · 《New Grub Street》

'I'll make an opportunity of talking about your books to Fadge. I think Fadge and I shall get on pretty well together. Alfred Yule hates the man fiercely, for some reason or other. By the way, I may as well tell you that I broke short off with the Yules on purpose.'英文原著 · 《New Grub Street》
