comment
It's All My Fault: Lisa's great-aunt Hannah blames herself for causing the fatal heart attack of Gwyneth, the senior maid and the titular lacemaker, by stealing a beautiful, intricate lace pattern that she hard worked incredibly hard on. Now everyone else involved is dead, so Hannah has no way of setting things right.

It's Quiet… Too Quiet: In Of Mice and Aliens, Ben feels uneasy because he doesn't hear any of the birds and rustling bushes that he normally does. The words "quiet, too quiet" are used. A minute later, he and Andy come across the spaceship that scared all the animals.

Working Out Their Emotions: When Lisa was younger, she used to run away from school when she got upset. The rhythm of her feet thumping on the footpath and the wind in her face made her feel calmer.

Literal-Minded: Ben. In the first scene of Blue Bottle Mystery, Miss Browning-Lever yells at him for chewing on a pen. When he says, "It's not a pen, it's a texta," she demands, "Are you trying to be smart with me, young man?" It takes Ben a second to remember that "smart" means "cheeky," not "intelligent," and the correct answer is "no."
