Quotes 

• [Jenny is describing her visit to a pregnant woman who has 24 children and lives in squalid conditions] 

  Jenny Lee : I didn't know where to turn or how to take my leave. They seemed completely unconcerned.

  Cynthia Miller : About the pregnancy or the mess?

  Jenny Lee : The pregnancy *and* the mess. They only had eyes for each other.

  Sister Monica Joan : Exactly. And look where it's got them!

  Jenny Lee : And how can anyone have 24 children and still look so young?

  Trixie Franklin : *Now* you've opened a lovely jar of worms.

  Sister Bernadette : Because she was fourteen when she had her first.

  Sister Julienne : She may even have been younger. Mr Warren brought her back from the Spanish Civil War.

  Sister Bernadette : Most men would be happy with some enemy binoculars!
