* WildChild: Adeline and Emmeline don't grow up in the wilderness raised by animals, but the fact that neither was really "raised" by anyone at all makes them both quite feral in many ways. Emmeline has the innocence often associated with this, though Adeline's ferocity turns out to be pure psychopathy.
* AdultsAreUseless:
** The girls' mother and uncle pay no attention to the twins; John-the-dig and Missus do their best but they are getting older and have duties in the house. Soon enough, the girls kidnap a baby and injure it by putting the stroller down a hill. Then a local doctor intervenes because Adeline and Vida could be labeled as public menaces.
** The experiment to separate the girls was to ostensibly rehabilitate them before they committed serious harm. As Vida recalls, the doctor and Hester were so absorbed in their research that they ignored the obvious: the girls were missing each other and getting worse, not better.
