Age-Gap Romance | |
| Mr. Standfast / int_52196c03 | comment |
Age-Gap Romance: When Richard Hannay meets Mary Lamington, he's approaching forty and she's seventeen. Hannay is somewhat self-conscious about the age gap, and Mary occasionally tweaks him about it, but nobody regards it as a serious obstacle. It's noted that Mary is mature for her age compared to what she might have been if she hadn't spent the last few years playing an active role in the war effort. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Near the end, Hannay learns that von Schwabing has abducted Mary, and rushes to the villain's lair, where he finds von Schwabing standing over a figure in a chair — end of chapter. The next chapter is a flashback to Mary's abduction, and ends with the revelation that she was rescued by their colleagues before reaching the villain's lair. The chapter after that identifies the figure in the chair as Blenkiron, come to tell von Schwabing that the jig is up. | |
