More extrapolation - the younger Walkers

Sep 12, 2014 22:21

Titty might end up a bit taller than Susan. Maybe 5ft 6 or 7? For one thing, she’s a post WW1 baby, so might have been a little better nourished in utero than the older 4. (I’m assuming that Peggy and Susan might have come of worst in that respect.) I’m also assuming that Titty is slim verging on thin as a young woman. Again, I’m assuming brown hair - maybe a bit light than Susan and (by way of variety) she can have brown eyes or hazel? Eyes colour is not a straightforward either /or two alleles of one gene situation, despite certain textbook publishers attempting to convince 14-16 year olds so.

Roger - well given the amount he eats, you’d expect him to get quite fat, but he is a growing lad so he probably doesn't. I have always been quite convinced he ended up as a pilot in the RAF though, since I was quite a small kid. Again, I think he has brown hair of some description. I had a little fun making one of the student nurses in “Baltic adventure” rather fancy him - just to make him feel a little awkward and teenagerish. I had such fun with that, that is seemed a good idea to make him really a very good looking lad and totally unaware of the fact, at least for as long as possible. So far as I’ve written though - well you know what they say about lucky with cards and unlucky with love? Don’t play a card game for money with Roger Walker.
I’m guessing Roger is about an average height for his generation. Perhaps a little bit taller? 5ft 9 or 10 then.

And Bridget? I somehow have the impression that she has lighter hair than the others in Secret Water - but then this as a small girl at the end of a hot and sunny summer. She is also described as plump in Secret Water, but I picture Bridget as sturdy rather than plump as an older child and perhaps growing eventually to be the tallest of the Walker sisters, with light brown, maybe rather mousy hair.
