Sister Michael Quote #28

Quote from Sister Michael in Across the Barricade

Sister Michael: Honestly, girls, I need my eight hours, but I've had Mary Quinn on the phone frying my head and now this.
Erin: What? My Mother rang? Why? Is everything OK?
Sister Michael: Ah, she was quite distressed. She wanted me to pass on a message.
Erin: And... are you going to?
Sister Michael: Oh, fine. [clears throat] "Uh, Erin, I need some information. Can you find out in a subtle way... if Michelle's mother was given the big bowl by someone she has since fallen out with and if she can no longer bring herself to look at the big bowl because it's just too painful. All the best, your mother Mary."
Erin: Well?
Michelle: No.
