Soft-handed Norman grew up the proverbial solo-sailor with his little boat sailing an ocean of oestrogen. With  twin sisters two years older, another one followed 3 years behind him. The baby of the family is also a girl at 18 years young.  

These women were raised by their mother in the growing comfort of middle class, expected to be the future flower of England, the perfect picture of womanly deportment.  The only concern from their avowedly Victorian father: 'bloody expensive'

The names, looks, occupations, orientations, attitudes of these girls are up for adoption.
