Conflicted twin-ishness?

In Falconer's Lure, Lawrie gets upset when Nicola cuts her hair as they no longer look alike, but in End of Term she's upset at having to walk in the choir procession just because she looks like Nick. I don't have my books anywhere nearby (sob!) so I can't trace this in any of the other books, but I'm wondering which is more important for her - looking like Nick or not. Lawrie is such an individual - there's no one like her - and SHE certainly thinks she's special, unique, destined for greatness, etc. - so her huge upset over the hair making them different seems a bit strange. In fact, you'd think she would be the one to cut her hair first. Thoughts, insights?

Sorry, is this DSR or someone else?

Anyway, I think it would get more exposure if it had its own topic - I'm not sure how many people check back to see whether old threads on trennels are still being added to. :)

The 12.58 post wasn't me.

I'm just about to re-post my first on this subject as a separate thread.

sorry, it was me (Res) who has a user name but no journal, and consequently keeps forgetting the password and forgetting to log in! I could post that bit about the Marlows as children again separately..

Hi Res

If you're usually logged in from the same computer, there's a 'Remember me' option on the login screen that actually does automatically log you back in the next time you visit the site (as opposed to the one on eBay, which doesn't - grr). No help if you're using a lot of different terminals, though. :(
