* When Mrs Medlock bluntly states that Mary's mother was beautiful and that Mary clearly didn't inherit any of her looks, the kind man who has been waiting with Mary for all those hours at the docks gently points out that children change, and that Mary may grow into them. He's probably the first grown up who's shown any kindness to her.
