Mrs. D. Mrs. I.

Mrs. F. F. I.

Mrs. C. Mrs. U.

Mrs. L. T. Y.

Why are all these women married? (To Miss Honey) You teach spelling, not poetry! Why do small children take so long to grow up? They do it deliberately, just to annoy me. (She starts to drink from a glass – in the glass Matilda has magiced a newt)
