I am married, so I do get comments about my driving!!
My own temperament/personality is very much 'happy to be second fiddle' (despite me being an older brother) so I guess I can identify easily with Peggy's nature. If she is like me, she wouldn't tell Nancy to jump in the lake.
I'm glad Peggy gets her moment in Winter Holiday to show how capable she is. I wonder if she is otherwise considered to be a less-explored character because she wasn't based on someone Ransome knew personally/well.
