When YR tells JH that he reminds her of Daddy Long Legs, this refers to the novel Daddy Long Legs (Jean Webster, 1912).

The novel is also romantic 🥰 : in the end, Judy discovers that her secret benefactor is none other than Jervis Pendleton, the man she has grown to love. The story concludes with their mutual confession of love and the beginning of their life together.
