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."

Answer:

I dont think theirs anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or shampoo that could make me like my girl any less.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim in this sentence remarks on the beauty of Della and continues to acknowledge that he will still like his girl if those things were gone. Jim seems to have looked beyond fellas beauty and chosen to view her by her personality rather than her outside looks.
