LOL!! Love it! Just read the one before as well, great stuff! Poor Reg. Maybe Margot will marry him, or he'll have a mad, passionate affair with Ian Hamilton! *giggling madly* EBD will be spinning!
Actually, Margot's calling - unlike the Len'n'Reg thing, which was somewhere between eye-gougingly unromantic and plain squicky - always rang true to me. Much more so than Robin's which, apart from the conversation with Jo about how she hadn't wanted to tell the family (that bit was dead right) always felt a bit MAI VOCASHUN IZ PASTEDED ON YAYZ!
I can see that She would have thought Robin destined for the convent, though. She's too good to be punished with spinsterhood, but having had all the guff about her delicate health, she isn't a plausible mother of seven, either.
You're right, of course - it makes sense in those terms, just not in story-internal ones (though maybe the problem is that grown up! Robin doesn't seem to have much of a personality, of any kind at all....)
One could argue in it being implicit in her being unwell in Herefordshire, and much better when they go go the cold crsip climes of Canada... But I think the personality issue is the real one (I like the glimpse of her we get in Adrienne, though).

I come from a tubercular family. EBD would have had me whisked into a nunnery before my A-level results came through. :(
