On The Buccaneers

"Miss Testvalley comes to regret what she has done and so she should. It is entirely out of keeping with the character and values she is meant to represent." 

But it's not the case. In the synopsis it says Miss Testvalley is instrumental but in the novel she does little specific other than get them to the UK. She even advises Tintagel against proposing to Nan. We know nothing of Hector and Lizzie. Lizzie orchestrates Virginia and Seadown.
