I wodered if the girl sitting down was Dorothea, but decided it wasn't because she didn't have blonde pigtails.
I think it would be a huge stretch to imagine that it wasn't Dorothea- after all, she is the only person in any of the books to have pigtails. But are they blonde? I always imagined them to be some shade of brown, but I've probably missed a description somewhere.
Anyway, in my copy of PM, JC 1948, Ch XV, p.140, 'Launching the Scarab' it lists those present as being the Blacketts, the Ds and a boatbuilder. So full house... The picture on p.142, maybe used instead of the one we're discussing, is a layout diagram of Scarab.
