Mary Cotter (of the Four Marys, naturally): "Fancy, our Mary Field — the St. Elmo's hoaxer!" (Mary Field had been under a lot of strain and had a bit of a breakdown, possibly because she just couldn't cope with the banality of her life anymore.)
Mary Simpson: "Isn't it pathetic how boys of our age are so immature?"
Mary Cotter: "One has to feel sorry for them, really. Personally I can't imagine ever wanting to go out with one!" Bunty annual of 1988.
Veronica Laverley (discussing an injured hedgehog being nursed back to health by one of the Marys' friends): "It's disgusting, keeping that creature in here. What about the fleas?"
Mary Cotter: "I'm sure they won't have gone anywhere near you, Veronica. I've been told that fleas are quite choosy!" Bunty annual of 1989.
