Geraldine is almost as thorough a guttersnipe as Dane is. But according to this story, there's a lot of good in even the worst people. In any case, the boy remorsefully visits the girl in the hospital, never letting on, of course, that he was the driver. The girl, too, is pretending; she doesn't really feel sick at all.
