* AdaptationalContextChange: In the book, Sylvia doesn't want the girls to attend the academy because the two doctors are already going to educate them, and she doesn't think it's practical. Nana likewise agrees. In the film however, Sylvia is worried about the cost of lessons, and it's Nana who talks her around. Theo also rents her room on the condition that the girls attend the academy in the film, whereas in the book she's been staying at the house for a while before she suggests it.
