About This Quote

When Dick was describing the paintings in the museum, he said, "If Fancy's lips had been real cherries, Dick's would have appeared deeply stained." This means that Fancy's lips are fake cherry lips. The word "cherry" is not a real word. It is just an adjective that describes other words.
