* ForcedAddiction: In ''A Monstrous Regiment of Women'', the villains at one point kidnap Mary, hold her prisoner for several weeks, and forcibly addict her to morphine, as part of a plot to kill her and make it look as if she was a decadent Bright Young Thing who died by accident. Realistically, once she escapes she has little difficulty in going cold turkey, even though it's physically unpleasant.

* WifeHusbandry: not ''exactly'', but worth a mention. They meet when Holmes is well beyond fifty and Russell is fifteen. Russell, having just lost her own father, explicitly refers in the narrative to Holmes being a surrogate father.

* RapunzelHair: Russell's hair is hip-length, but she mostly wears it braided and stuffed under a hat. She says it's easier than a short cut (bobs were in huge fashion), which always needs combing and maintaining.

* SuicideIsShameful: Discussed in ''Beekeeper's Apprentice'', and a view clearly held by the villain, [[spoiler:the daughter of Professor Moriarty; she attempts to force Holmes to sign a confession ruining his own reputation and then kill himself or she will kill Mary, and Holmes in turn provokes her into attacking him in person when she has him at gunpoint by pointing out that Moriarty's death was essentially suicide, as he confronted Holmes in an isolated area while unarmed and aware that Holmes was the stronger of the two]].
