There's that bit in Cricket Term when Ann won't smuggle Nicola an extra book because she disapproves of breaking the school rules as well. An earlier glimmering of her unwillingness to compromise her beliefs/see someone else's side?
My main rememberance of Ann in Run Away home is her being shattered because the others lied to her about helping Edward. I do wonder if she really thinks she would have supported them, given her stubbornness when she doesn't approve of someone's actions. Although I suppose it does fit in - she doesn't try to prevent Nick taking the book, just won't assist her. Same with the bike - more of refusing to enable her rather than deliberately obstructing, although that's quibbling rather.
It's also minority/majority stuff. I feel fairly sympathetic towards Ann because she's pretty much on her own in terms of expressing her spirituality, but I find similar views infuriating in say the Chalet books, because they're everywhere.
