| I find this a really interesting discussion. Leaving aside for the moment whatever ages of the characters are or aren't specified in the script, I think it would all work out fine and be fully credible if Marian was around 26, Winthrop was around 10, and their mother was around 46. I suppose Marian could even be a couple of years younger than 25 and still be considered something of an "old maid," as people tended to get married very young in those days, but let's make her 26 just to be safe :-) |
