Hah! Say, maybe Nicola really does have more in common with Ann than she'd like to admit -- certainly the tidiness, unimpeachable honesty, competence as a leader/"captain", tendency to get things done without procrastinating or dwelling on them overmuch, and cooperative spirit. None of which could really be applied to Ginty (who is much more like Lawrie). The only thing missing is the overt religiosity -- which, however, in Nicola is expressed more in her reverence for old things, including the trad Mass. [SPOILERISH] The argument they will have about the latter in RAH does sort of suggest that maybe Ann is afraid of feeling the seductive power that Nicola finds in the Mass....
