Friends at Kingscote/Trennels

[carmine-rose.livejournal.com]

So... um... I didn't realise my post yesterday was going to engender quite that much debate! Maybe this will get a discussion going with a less "poles-apart" feeling.

Who would you prefer as a best friend, Tim or Miranda? And why? And why would Tim be attracted to Lawrie, since they seem quite dissimilar? And dislike (if Nicola's feelings are correct) Nicola?

Was Peter reasonable to feel jealous of Nicola's growing friendship with Patrick? Or Nicola to feel resentful of Ginty's relationship with him? (If she did feel resentful... Would you say she was actually jealous, and if so, are her feelings for Patrick romantic or just friendly?)

Which of the Marlows would you rather have as a best friend? And why?

Discuss!

It's quite amusing how nearly everyone wants Miranda (I do too)! Poor Tim!

I think Ginty would be fun to have as a friend and hell to have as a sister.

I don't think Tim would mind, somehow! She'd just write us off as undeserving of her friendship.

Gin'd be fine as a friend if you were Monica, I think - but if I'd been one of her other pals in Attic Term, when she's doing her 'cat that walked' bit - I would have got annoyed quite quickly.

yes, but Vee and such were retards (as shown by AF, and also remarked on by Nick(? I think), so you can understand...imo ginty only puts up with them because she's very insecure, and in Attic Term, without the counterbalancing of Monica around, she just can't stand them.
