Sister Mary Loquacious/Mary Hodges Character Analysis

Sister Mary Loquacious is a Satanist nun of the Chattering Order of St. Beryl and the nurse responsible for the mix-up that gives the Antichrist to the Young family rather than that of the American Cultural Attaché. When readers first meet her, she’s scatterbrained and likes being that way—she believes it makes life simpler to not have to be smart. But once the Order has to move away from Tadfield Manor, Mary breaks her vows and sets about restoring the Manor. During this process, Mary reassumes her given name, Mary Hodges, and discovers that she can be a shrewd and successful businesswoman. She transforms the Manor into a retreat and training center for businesses.
