* VillainOfAnotherStory: Fandorin offhandedly mentions that one of the passengers, a tea trader called Étienne Boileau, has the tattoo of a Hong Kong triad on his wrist, which means that he is actually a dangerous criminal and an opium trader. However, he has nothing to do with the murders, and basically disappears from the plot after that.

* CoveringUpYourGray: Clarissa Stamp alternatingly dyes or plucks her grey hair to conceal the fact that she is a lot older than she publicly lets on. This is because [[spoiler:she has recently escaped an abusive relationship carrying over from an extremely sheltered childhood, so she has the social experience of a young debutante and is extremely insecure about her real age]].

* ChocolateBaby: One of Marie Sanfon's scams, as recounted by Gauche. She was midwifing at the home of a wealthy noble German family, when the mistress of the house popped out a Chocolate Baby. The humiliated husband paid Sanfon to acquire a newborn white child. Only after Sanfon had done so and left did the German aristocrat recognize a birthmark on the child and realize that it actually was his.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: The POV characters express a multitude of nationalistic, racist, and classist views. One can assume these were fairly commonplace in the late 19th century. In particular:
** Many characters mock Gintaro Aono (mentally or aloud) for being Asian.
** Meanwhile, Aono casually mentions in his diary that his future bride is thirteen and they'll get married in a year or two, maybe sooner.
** Clarissa Stamp is mocked for being an OldMaid, and Gauche implies she is DefiledForever after being seduced and abandoned in Paris.
** Everyone easily believes Marie Sanfon's lie about getting attacked by a ScaryBlackMan.

* FirstGrayHair: Clarissa Stump has a moment like this, and it is implied to not be the first time. She rips it out but is immediately ashamed of herself being in denial about her age.
