* IllGirl: [[spoiler:Elizabeth, when she has dysentery]] in the third volume.

* SpotOfTea: The League takes tea daily. Elizabeth makes her own from herbs she grows in her room.

* {{Diary}}: Naturally.

* GreenEyedMonster: A mild example in the final volume. [[spoiler:Skinner]] is rather miffed that his fiancee is spending so much time with another man. [[spoiler:He's considerably soothed when he finds out that Elizabeth's main interest in SherlockHolmes is the fact that he knew her father.]]

* SherlockHolmes: Much of the final volume centers around locating him.

* [[LastOfHisKind Last Of Her Kind]]: Elizabeth being [[spoiler:the last Quatermain]] is a plot point in the first volume. In the fifth volume, it's revealed that she's also all that remains of her mother's family.

* WeddingDay: Three of 'em! [[spoiler:Mina and Jekyll]] get MarriedAtSea on Christmas Eve in volume III; [[spoiler:Elizabeth and the villain]] have a wedding in volume IV [[spoiler:which gets broken up JustInTime]]; and finally, [[spoiler:Skinner and Elizabeth]] in the very last chapter of volume V.
