** Mr Shevvington can be physically affectionate toward the young girls in his care, specifically kissing them on the forehead when he welcomes them to his home. These days such a gesture would be a massive red flag, but here -- though it makes Christina uncomfortable -- it's not treated by the narrative as overstepping any bounds.

* ValuesDissonance: The books (written 1989-1992) can seem quite jarring 30 years later with the apparent unassailability of the Shevvingtons' reputation and authority as teachers (especially since Mrs Shevvington is openly psychologically cruel and bullying to her students), considering the much greater wariness of abuse in today's schools. While the Shevvingtons are admittedly subtle in their manipulations and their charm is well-practised, the fact that Christina only has her parents and other teachers to report the Shevvingtons to rather than any external authorities seems unlikely to occur nowadays.
