The underlined word is: "You don't understand me, Harry," answered the artist. "Of course I am not like him. I know that perfectly well. Indeed, I should be sorry to look like him.

It is better not to be different from one's fellows. …”

Your mysterious young friend, whose name you have never told me, but whose picture really fascinates me, never thinks….”
