* DemotedToExtra: Holmes and/or Watson were in almost every scene in ''SCAD'', getting almost as much page time as Beatrice, Catherine, and Justine. However in ''ETMG'', the story focuses much more on the five main characters and Lucinda and other new supporting characters like Irene, Mina, Carmilla, Laura, and Vlad get the spotlight. Holmes and Watson are only a supporting presence in the early chapters and don't accompany the women on their European Travels. Holmes is officially missing earlier than halfway into the book, though probably of his own volition. Watson, after helping Beatrice and Catherine leave after the others, [[spoiler: is also officially missing at the end.]]
