Quotes about Bent
[edit]- Say what they like about Sir Thomas Bent, but he was a man. He mightn’t have much honesty, if there was big money to be got, and he liked his gin and tonic strong an fraquint, an’ a rovin’ eye for wimmen, but outside them matters he was as pure as the drivellin’ snow.
- Paddy Reynolds, of the Cathedral Hotel, Melbourne, on learning of Bent's death. Quoted by Randolph Bedford, Naught to Thirty-three (1944)
