For once, I got there before Prue! Here's what I wrote way back in 1992, in Mixed Moss, the Journal of the Arthur Ransome Society:
'The obvious thing would be for Susan to join the WRENS, but somehow I see her more as a QARNN (naval nurse). She would do well, of course, and rapidly progress to being a senior nursing officer feared and admired throughout the Service. Susan would no doubt form part of that large group of people on whom the British war effort depended: stolid, not over-imaginative, but hard working, well-organised and utterly reliable.'
There's more where that came from, including a theory about Titty's future, but that's enough for now, I think.
