If Squashy hadn’t been so shy and just demanded to know what Nancy was doing with his paint pot (like he was a Mr Jemmerling) the novel would have ended then. Then, I guess if he wasn’t so shy he’d have knocked on the Beckfoot front door in the first place and it would never have started.

Very true!!
I do like how Ransome has captured Squashy Hat’s character in this little line drawing … he could appear either a bit suspicious, or very shy.
