"You are quite smart for a poor nobody. Do you want to trap my son with your baby? Not in this life and when I am alive." Mrs Wanky looked pensive a bit and then walked gracefully in her 4-inch heels back to her seat without providing a seat to the pregnant Thalia, but Thalia did not care much as she was always on her feet each day anyway between her part-time job and her lectures.
