Dot (like Susan) is too keen to follow the rules sometimes. In WH, when the D’s have arrived at the North Pole through the snow and storm and are safe in shelter, Dot says we must leave the shelter and head back home now (in the dark). Dick says no, as we have signalled to Nancy (who has seen it and has set off for the North Pole too). Evidently Dot hasn’t heard of hypothermia!
Susan (WD) wants to sail back after they have drifted out to sea, even if they have to wreck the Goblin. John says somewhere (WD?) that in a real emergency the rules go by the board. He persuades her to sail with the wind to Holland, rather than go back against the wind.
