* {{Eagleland}}: The Otises are a mix of Type One and Type Two--most of them mean well, but are quite materialistic in multiple senses of the word. (On the other hand, after [[spoiler:Sir Simon's treasure is discovered]], Mr. Otis tries very hard to persuade his descendants to reclaim it, and is embarrassed when they decline.) It's notable that Virginia, who is the most sympathetic to the ghost's plight, ends up marrying into a ''[[GoingNative British]]'' noble family after the main plotline is resolved.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Virginia has big beautiful expressive eyes. She's a very sweet, innocent girl who helps Sir Simon to find his final rest.
