This quote could seems to be Heather's jealousy kicking in. She does care about image in the book which could be what this is talking about but i find it to be going a different way. Heather believes that if she can't have something then nobody can, especially M.F. This is a prime example of indirect characterization.
Completly agree with you sir, Bardi did a good job indirectly describing characters like Heather. The thought of a person like Mary Fred being "cooler" then her definatly kicks in the jealousy in Heather.
