Ann will be lovely when she grows up a bit - in the books, she does try her best but is too immature to see when she is being officious and when she is being genuinely helpful.
Peter will be fine as soon as he can be made to see that he is not Navy material and will be much happier doing something else.
Patrick will work out okay in the end, once he knows what he wants to do with his life. If he really wants to run Mariot Chase and save the estate for posterity, he will need to buckle down and learn estate management and work closely with his father. If he doesn't much care, he may just fritter his life away.
Lawrie will, I imagine, be a relatively decent human being. I half hope she doesn't make it as an actress - if she does, she will always be a self-centred diva. If she finds something to do where she has to think of other people, too, she has potential.
But by and large I think they'll all grow into decent human beings - most people do, after all!
