The Twins are Dickie and Mary and are, intentionally, annoying, being younger than the others. Their chief job is to look after the Scottie dog, Macbeth, and thicken the plot by getting into scrapes. Can't actually recollect the age quote, but we've got a few copies around so will have a browse.
Good things about Savile are his locations, and the fact that his characters do get older - being at university, some of them, by the end, and usefully able to drive cars. There's also a bit of discreet love, or at least hormonal interest in some of them. But Sea Wych Comes Home (Set in Southwold, by the way) shows he is woefully ignorant about boats and sailing. He does have a bit of a predilection for floods - I've read two where they form the climax.
