The diary absolutely plays a role in the plot, so isn't just "there's a diary", but this helps explain the significance more directly.
Added DiffLines:
* SecretDiary: Played with, and even inverted to some extent. Robin finds Bonita [=McCurdy=]'s diary on a shelf in the Velvet Room, and while it doesn't seem to have been deliberately hidden, it also doesn't seem anyone was aware it was there. The diary doesn't reveal any deep, dark secrets--in fact it's notable for what it ''doesn't'' reveal, namely what happened to Bonita or why she disappeared. However, it does help drive the thrust of the main plot, since it hastens and deepens Robin's fantasies about Palmeras House and the past. And the clues it does contain later help resolve the subplot of [[spoiler:Bridget's identity]].

* [[BornInTheWrongCentury Born in the Wrong Decade]]: Robin thinks this about her father to some degree, and every once in a while so does he, regarding the fact that the death of his father and later the Depression have caused him to work in menial labor that isn't good for his health and doesn't fit his literary and intellectual sensibilities. Bridget and Mr. [=McCurdy=] agree, which is [[{{Foreshadowing}} significant]].
