%%* DieForOurShip: Eleanor gets this from time to time.



** For non-British viewers at least. When the Mölders's maid Polly expresses a desire to accompany the family on their next visit to London so she can apply for a well-paying job she saw advertised in the newspaper, Hans tells her it's a scam to lure in naive country girls because the address listed is in Whitehall, which he claims is one of the worst slums in the city. Actually, the Whitehall area has been the center of the British government for centuries and is easily one of the most high-class and respectable areas of London. [[spoiler: Given that Emma is the other maid under consideration to make the trip, and Hans is practically guaranteed to go as well, it makes one doubt if he was truly mistaken.]]
** Mori probably intended to refer to Whitechapel, on the opposite (eastern) edge of the City Of London, which has long been notorious for its poverty and crime, particularly the Jack The Ripper murders less than a decade before the events of ''Emma'''s main storyline.

The English dub of the anime removes any ambiguity by saying "Whitechapel" outright.



** Aurelia Jones [[spoiler:(also known as Mrs. Trollope)]], the Jones childrens' mother. Readers are treated to her gradual but utter mental and physical collapse as the stress of being active in Victorian society takes its toll on her. While her actual ailment was most likely a combination of anxiety and perhaps undiagnosed postpartum depression, Richard's doctor insisted she had a lung condition so they would have an excuse to ship her off to the countryside without questions from nosy noblewomen (who were already gossiping). Her children (except Colin, who was just a baby) were ''not'' happy about it.

** Colin being [[ForgettableCharacter constantly forgotten or ignored]] by his older siblings is usually PlayedForLaughs, but it's still hard not to feel sorry for him considering how young he is. It doesn't help that when William ''does'' pay attention to him, he's interrupted or called away to somewhere else.

* TheWoobie:
** Eleanor is the most obvious example in the series. The poor girl falls in love with a man who is already in love with someone else, but by being a NiceGuy he inadvertently strings her along. After the other woman is out of the picture, he proposes to her, which she joyfully accepts. Then, ''during their engagement party'', [[spoiler:her fiancé's first love suddenly and unexpectedly returns, and he decides to break off the engagement. Both her own parents ''and'' her fiancé's father insist to her he didn't really mean what he said… but ''then'' he shows up at her home to dump her again directly. She doesn't take it well. For all this trouble, her evil toad of a father declares her a worthless failure and banishes her to a seaside sanitarium.]]
