yup - when she's made sub in the netball team in attic term, i think. i'm also not quite sure whether or not i'm muddling 'esther's term' that forester48 wrote though! i've been having a re-read of both end of term and attic term recently, and i'm sure she says something along those lines in attic term, as well as over the shepherd boy.

i suspect lawrie forgets that she isn't the only one of the twins with individual gifts and talents that mark her out, and it's almost as if she sees nicola as an appendix to herself, rather than a person in [nick's] own right. so when she's reminded of it, it rankles.
