%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Julia. She's apparently been known to get lost, not just in London, but in Lincoln's Inn, where she's worked for several years.


Added DiffLines:

* GeniusDitz: Julia. She's a very skilled tax lawyer, but has issues with daily life. In spite of being a lawyer she's delinquent on her own taxes, and apparently she's been known to get lost, not just in London, but in Lincoln's Inn, where she's worked for several years.


Added DiffLines:

* NotWhatItLooksLike: In ''Thus Was Adonis Murdered'', Marylou's husband walks in on Marylou embracing Julia while Julia is in her underwear, and gets the wrong idea. Marylou had been sewing Julia's petticoat (which Julia had cut short with scissors) and started crying, so Julia gave Marylou a shoulder to cry on, when he walked in.


Added DiffLines:

* WorthlessTreasureTwist: In ''Thus Was Adonis Murdered'', the Major steals a painting from a church in Verona that he thought was valuable but it turned out to be lowly regarded. [[spoiler: The reason he thought it was valuable is because Julia was guiding the tour group through Verona using the guidebook for Padua, where a similar church had a much more valuable painting with a similar theme.]]

* ClingyJealousGirl: gender-bent and gay equivalent. In ''Thus Was Adonis Murdered'', Kenneth Dunfermline is in passionate, all-consuming love with Ned, who in return doesn't take his feelings very seriously at all, being described by a third party as 'flighty' and happy to return advances from others. Not to mention his sleeping with Julia. [[spoiler: Kenneth and Ned are working a scam in which Ned impersonates the heir to an immense fortune; Ned has many, many, second thoughts once the actual heir is murdered--and [[DrivenToSuicide his final letter]] to Kenneth mentions that Ned's worked out that one of the reasons Kenneth talked him into the con is that it will effectively cut Ned off from anyone and everyone who knew him before, as well as preventing anyone else from getting close enough to discover the truth in the future--in other words, [[{{Yandere}} Kenneth gets Ned completely isolated and all to himself]] forever.]]

** Non-romantic equivalent: Daphne in ''The Sybil in Her Grave'' latches onto Maurice and clearly resents the hell out of his relationship with Derek. [[spoiler: She steals the Virgil frontispiece so Maurice will think Derek is responsible, then gradually isolates Maurice from all his other friends as well.

Added DiffLines:

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Cantrip mentions that he's been asked by his old friend Clementine Derwent to go with her to Jersey and advise on a case there. Julia instantly turns icy and acts like a jealous girlfriend. Since the romance between Julia and Cantrip is long over, Hilary is confused, until Julia makes a few pointed remarks about how the only reason a UK lawyer would be needed in the Channel Islands would be for tax stuff, and since tax law is her specialty, and not Cantrip's...
-->"The chagrin of a woman displaced in her lover’s affections is as nothing compared with that of a barrister superseded in the favour of a leading firm of solicitors. "


Added DiffLines:

** In ''The Sibyl in Her Grave'', Maurice's most treasured possession is an illuminated frontispiece of Virgil's Second Eclogue - a poem narrated by an older shepherd who is passionately in love with a beautiful young man. Comparisons are often drawn between vicars and shepherds, so Maurice falling head over heels for Derek[[spoiler:/Terry]] shouldn't be that surprising.
