The discussion about Kay below made me wonder how many children each of the Marlows would end up producing. I hope this hasn't been discussed before - if so I apologise! My thoughts are as follows:

Giles - lots, of course. Borne by a meek and long-suffering wife?
Kay - not sure. Maybe two, by a later marriage.
Rowan - I haven't decided whether Rowan will settle down in a same-sex partnership, in which case I don't think she will bother with children, or whether she will marry, initially decline children, but then suddenly decide in her mid-thirties that her biological clock is ticking and ultimately end up with two sons.
Ann - Ann will marry mid-twenties and - ironically and unfairly - have great difficulty conceiving. They will adopt two children before she finally produces a daughter.
Ginty - boy and girl? Followed by divorce?
Peter - don't know. Perhaps he will surprise everyone by becoming the real pater familias?
Nick - I reckon four boys, and would quite like them to be by Robert Anquetil.
Lawrie - after a succession of affairs with her leading men (and because she likes to shock and likes the attention probably a couple of leading ladies too), Lawrie will settle down with a somewhat older and very dashing film star, will initially reject the idea of children, but aged 37 will suddenly decide she wants one and immediately and without difficulty produce a daughter, which will really rub Ann's nose in it.

What does everyone else think?

Though someone would probably have pointed out to her in short order that, with three or possibly four other children under five at that point, Mrs Marlow had things to do other than pull eighteen-hour days sitting around on a film set.

And just imagine what Commander Marlow would have said about the idea!

If she was installed back at the (overflowing) London house by the time he returned from the North Atlantic next, do you reckon he'd have noticed?

Which obviously would have been completely irrelevant, and they should have realised that Lawrie was going to be a famous actor, and obviously it would have been a much better use of her time to give Dame Lawrie a real start in films, and it's all just so unfair.

Don't give me terrible ideas for Marlows / Labyrinth crossovers! :)
