7!!Provides examples of:
8* AdaptedOut: Lizzie's younger sister, Mabel, doesn't appear in the show.
9* BetaCouple: In contrast to Connie and Nan's unhappy marriages, Lizzie marries Hector Robinson, a NouveauRiche industrialist with a similar background to her own, and the two of them end up being relatively happy together.
10* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Laura facilitates Annabel and Guy's reunion, which leads to them running away to start a new life together in South Africa, but results in Laura breaking up with Guy's father, Sir Helmsley Thwaite.]]
11* NaturalisedName: Laura Testvalley's surname is actually Testavaglia, as she comes from a family of Italian revolutionaries.
12* OutOfFocus: Most of the action focuses on Nan and Laura, so once Ginny and Mabel are married off, we see a lot less of them.
