* {{Foil}}: When the Earl learns that one of his older sons may have had a child who would be the heir instead of Cedric, it convinces him to meet Cedric's mother for the first time, acknowledging that, regardless of his distaste for Americans, she is clearly far superior to the alternative.



* {{Irony}}: Cedric's father was the son who seemed the least likely to be rich or inherit the Earl's title but he was very obviously the best suited for it compared to his two older brothers.

* MamasBoy: Cedric, to the point of calling his mother "Dearest"."Dearest" (it's noted that this is what his father called her and Cedric inherited the habit from him)


Added DiffLines:

*SpannerInTheWorks: Dick the bootblack’s friendship with Cedric is ultimately this to Tom’s mother’s plans to claim the Earl’s fortune for herself, as Dick’s friendship with Cedric meant he was taking an interest in the story and could identify her as his former sister-in-law once he saw a photograph in the news.

* HaveAGayOldTime: Cedric's father is described as someone who "had a bright smile and a sweet, gay voice". One of the things he liked about his life in America was that "everything was so gay and cheerful".

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Cedric. Not only is he physically cute, but he was very well-behaved, polite, responsible, is very attached to his mother etc. Basically every mother's dream son, which is not surprising considering it was written by a Victorian era middle class lady. On stage, and in the early movies, he was often portrayed by a girl or young woman to get the cuteness factor right. Creator/MaryPickford, in fact, doubled in the 1921 film adaptation the roles of Cedric and his mother. The 10-year-old Creator/BusterKeaton played Cedric on stage. How cute could it be?
