But you've given them all children - too much Marlow spawn, and frankly, I see the Marlows as less baby-happy (in the sense of trigger-happy) than that.
Let's see - Karen is put off for life by Chas, Rose and Fob and does not reproduce, either with Edwin, or in her subsequent relationship with one of her doctoral students, when she is a classics don at St Hilda's.
Children would mess with Nicola's solo sailing tours.
No one will let the insufferably smug Giles close enough to them to give him a chance to reproduce.
Fob grows up to be a dark, chunky, smouldering femme fatale, pursues Peter till he gives in and they have two children, one dark and square-set, the other thin and blonde.
Lawrie gets pregnant by one of her leading men, but decides that Lady Macbeth can't really have a bump, so terminates the pregnancy in 'the Play is All' mode. Ann is horrified. Lawrie rolls her eyes, unable to believe in such wetness, but is subsequently more careful about the pill.
The reproductive fates of the other Marlows are hidden from me... But Patrick is gay, and eventually rejects Catholicism violently, forming a lifelong relationship with a taciturn local farmer, with whom he hunts, hawks and is blissfully happy.
