I like the filmgoing and the way Lawrie effectively announces her acting ambitions without anyone taking it the least bit seriously. (And if it wasn't for this bit, I would always think of Lawrie as going to become a solely stage actress.)
Nicola feels things quite as strongly as Lawrie, but I think Lawrie's easy weeping acts as an escape valve which N lacks.
I don't think Giles's age is ever given, but he can't really be more than 19/20 here given that everyone else is so very (too in some cases) close in age). Reading it as a child he seemed significantly older to me - thanks to being seen through Nicola's eyes?.
