Apart from suggesting that he and his sister attempt signalling to Mars, does Dick ever 'play'?

I don't think Dick does 'play'. Even when he is using his imagination, he does real things- much more interesting.

In fact, apart from Roger's pearl diving in SA, none of them plays, except maybe for Nancy with the Eels. And Bridget of course, but she's not really in the same category.

But even Titty's wild imaginings, like crossing the Red Sea, are really a gloss on real life events. It's one of the great strengths of AR that his stories are serious, in the way that children's games are absolutely serious.
