To assume that Nancy was sexually promiscuous in later life destroys my image of her. I wonder if AR would have considered that.
He'd never have needed to consider it. It seems incredibly unlikely that he would have bothered with the kind of back stories and extensions that we produce here. After all, we do it for fun, no other reason, and it seems that his pleasure was in the characters as children, and the practical imperative was to write stories that made money. I also get the impression that his favourites were Titty and Dorothea; he develops them more fully than any of the others.
