* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Implied with the locket.

to:

* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Implied {{Implied}} with the locket.



* NotWhatItLooksLike: Invoked and inverted in-story not by TheProtagonist, but by the man investigating him, of all things; who tells the protagonist that "while others may assume that a discreet carriage ride (with the Duchess and future empress) was what it ''looked like'' (a sexual encounter), I am willing to find out what it actually was." (As it turns out, a conversation between childhood friends.) It may also be subverted as Uhl is clearly skeptical of Eisenheim's explanation and warns him others will be even moreso.
