What is the foremost concern of Pauline's, next to which
all else pales? Her family, of course!
"I can remember a
time when you needed to hire Earl's Court for holding our family
Christmas dinner. This year, I'm thinking of hiring a phone
box."

|
"Well, no, it's
our business, and some people get funny when they know your
finances and everything. So if you don't mind, we'll just keep
it in the family."
|
|
"It's quite
simple, really. Mind you: family loyalty. That's the key."
|
|
"Just because you're
a graduate doesn't mean to say you can argue with your mother."
|
|
"You talk it over
with Ruth. And if she wants to go ahead, go ahead with it. She
knows what she's doing."
|
|
"Well, listen,
Mark, in future, anything like this you should tell me
straightaway. I am your mother; I need to know these things."
|
|
"Whenever I've
got a problem that I can't get to the bottom of, I think to
myself 'what would Lou and Albert have done about this?' "
|
|
"Yes, well, I
think you'll find that Mark likes his sprouts tender; nothing he
can break a filling on."
