I'm (rather worryingly) not too young to remember her first time round and fear your mother might have slightly misled you, in that Sophie's refusal to consummate the relationship wasn't anything to do with moral scruples but because she had some kind of problem with the idea of sex at all. There was a conversation in which David accused her of acting like a frightened sheep whenever he came near her and she tearfully confessed that with a previous boyfriend they had "tried to be like all the other couples but never really could..." The mind boggles but it did leave them with unfinished business.
I was sure I had it on cassette somewhere but despite having spent the evening listening to a 1986 Sophie revealing Brian's affair with Caroline to Jennifer, haven't tracked that bit down yet.

Re: Well, it was the obvious response.
