148. She bent down, picking it up.
149. She chuckled.
150. “Somebody seems to have dropped some money on the ground. No matter. It’s not yours, Laura. The honest thing to do is turn it in at the front. You're 55 years old, and your mother taught you well to be honest.”

170. Continuing, “Such immodesty would not have been tolerated by our parents.”
171. “What would your mothers say if they saw you like this?”
172. “You should have a little respect for yourselves.”
