Me too! I find him charming, I like the way he stands up to Edwin, I love his warmth with Fob (can't imagine Rowan or Giles bothering about such a young child). His Mummerset accent makes me laugh, he can be hilarious (e.g. to Patrick in RAH when he asks if he can be in his gang to take over the world), he struggles against his fears and insecurities and seems pretty hurt by Patrick's abandonment of him for Ginty/Nicola. I like the way he is manipulative enough to get out of his chores and nick the bathroom from under Lawrie's nose but there's no malice in him. Must be hard to be the younger brother to Giles who seems to be worshipped by all the others, parents included. I would put him near the top of my own Marlow Liking List.
