* MoralDissonance: Pepito is called out for his cruelty towards animals, as he should be, but when he's bedridden after being attacked by dogs, Madeline does almost nothing to comfort him. Instead, she spends the entire time telling him what an ass he is ''as he's reeling in pain from it and already knows.'' And then he becomes a vegetarian, [[{{Anvilicious}} just to make it more obvious]] how wrong it was for him to torture animals. And at the beginning of the book, before he even does a thing, the girls judge him at first sight as a "bad hat". Their cruelty to ''him'' is ''never'' called out. Miss Clavel's "I'm sure he's just misunderstood" is the closest to an objection raised. And even that is revealed to be misguided.

She is sad and her schoolmates join in with their signature "Boohoo!"; then Miss Clavel announces that they will all go to Texas with Madeline for the reading of great-grandpapa's will. Any semblance of mourning is put off as an exciting adventure starts for the girls, hosted by great-grandpapa's attorney Sam Crockett, who points out to Madeline the vast property that he claims, at first, is now hers. This culminates in a materialistic Christmas rainshower of gifts for all the girls, again courtesy of Sam. When, however, Miss Clavel asks him to stop spoiling her pupils, he promptly obliges by carrying out the reading of great-grandpapa's will, which reveals to a not-too-happy-looking Madeline that she will actually inherit on her 21st birthday - and everyone is sent back home.
