Thank you! Lots to think about and discuss, but just chiming in here to say I have always felt Rowan is very hard on Ginty in the playroom scene. When it comes to the regatta scene at the end of the book, someone - ?Mrs Marlow - says to Ginty 'you could have just said no', and I always think that really, she did try. In general I think Rowan manages to be competent without being annoyingly bossy, but not here. Perhaps it's because she is anxious and already feeling responsible for Trennels and its reputation, and doubtless it's also because Ginty has been being annoying, but she is actively unfair.
I love the poems, and I hear Lawrie reading Tom's Angel and the hair stands up on the back of my neck.
