Dave -
You are right; it was a fait accompli.

The excerpt I have displayed is but a part of some material I wrote to add to a book that is a work in progress by Prue Eckett. I took the situation that she had established and added my few episodes to it, one of which is shown here on the forum. As for Nancy and Timothy being married, well, I should HOPE so, as they have twins!

My own personal picture of this situation was that Timothy was a recent graduate, that was starting field work under the guidance of a more experienced leader - a scenario that someone else has already defined. The age difference of 8 certainly seemed to be not at all strange.

The last view of Timothy that Ransome let us see was in PM. In there, he is quoted as saying that he would like to wring her neck. Now with thoughts like that, it sure sounds like a budding romance there somewhere.

As for budding romances, in Prue's story in which all this 10 years later stuff is happening, there are strong hints that something is developing between John and Peggy, but with the uncertainty of an impending war, they do not feel they can really progress along those lines with so much unstable future for them both, with John being in the Navy, and Peggy involved in smuggling refugee children from Europe, which is where those three strangers in my story came from. She had gotten them out of there, and have them brought to Beckfoot for safe keeping, with all their fears and terrors still haunting their memories. It seems that during those times, there was quite a bit of taking into one's home of stranger refugees, as well as there was a lot of English children who were displaced from within the larger cities of the South and East to safer foster homes in the country. Families were separated in this effort, so it was a sad time for many. In some cases, the English children were sent to America to foster homes over here. Perhaps someone on this forum has more first hand experience of knowledge of such displacements.

These romantic hints makes you wonder which of our other characters were to get involved with which others. Susan and Jim Brading perhaps.
Tom D. and one of the Farland twins (how do we pick which one...)

Your imagination can have a field day with these possibilities.

It's all in your head anyway...
