The strict teacher has a younger Crime Boyfriend whose Soul she is hoping to Save, who is of course actually just sponging off her for money -- all fairly usual as far as it goes, until we get to the list of his Crimes (above and beyond trying to rob the convent). "He and his friends strummed guitars outside of public lavatories and sometimes they dressed as Buddhist monks and went down Oxford Street with begging-bowls [...] The young man was President of a multiple sex society or something - and there were orgies, some of which must have been financed by her. She gave him a horrifying amount of money." Then they describe his outfit: "Did you see the coat he was wearing when he was arrested?" "It looked like a lot of dead water-rats slung together, and by the way, what had he got on his head?"

The Mother Superior and priest having this discussion conclude by agreeing that if their staff are going to be so desperate as to fall in love with such a fellow, they really ought to change the rules and allow them to entertain guests in their room normally in hopes that it will encourage them to date normally instead of funding secret orgies.
