"In a prophetic warning, Nicola suggests Lawrie rehearses properly. Reading it now, it shouts out at me: does anyone recall if they noticed it on first reading?"
I don't remember noticing it before, but it did spring out at me this time. Lawrie is definitely, I think, a victim of her own hubris (and perhaps her disdain for the poem). If she'd only practiced it properly often enough, she would not have fallen into the trap she did. In fact, maybe even if Wendy Reynolds hadn't been there, Lawrie might not have been able to stop herself doing it that way.
