Punch-Clock Villain | |
| Sally Lockhart / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: Arthur Parrish is essentially this, as most of his criminal acts are based around money rather than his own prejudices, and he is only acting as Sally's husband because he has been ordered to do so by his 'employer', the Tzaddik, instead of having any vendetta against Sally herself. Doesn't justify any of his actions, especially when he shoots Goldberg when the latter comes to help Sally. | |

Dead Man Writing | |
| Sally Lockhart / int_2310dacb | comment |
Dead Man Writing: Ruby in the Smoke ends with Sally finding a final letter her father wrote her before his death, in which he apologises for not telling her about her biological father but affirms that, in his mind, the best thing Major Lockhart ever did was choose her over a fortune when he traded a valuable ruby for her. | |

Shoot the Dog: Unfortunately, a literal example; Sally's dog Chaka is killed in The Shadow in the North. It's a Heroic Sacrifice. | |

Skewed Priorities | |
| Sally Lockhart / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: In Tiger in the Well, when Sally is being sued for divorce as an unfit mother by Arthur Parrish, her lawyer and solicitor are more concerned with defending Sally of the charges raised by Parrish than whether or not Sally is actually married to him in the first place. | |

Screw the Money, I Have Rules! | |
| Sally Lockhart / int_4e52a624 | comment |
Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: It turns out that Major Lockhart basically adopted Sally because of this, giving her biological father Major Marchbanks an expensive ruby to pay off his gambling debts in exchange for Sally because he feared that Marchbanks was in no state to be a father to her. | |

Demoted to Extra: Technically Jim and Sally fall victim to this in Tiger in the Well and Tin Princess respectively, as Jim is absent on a trip until the end of Tiger and Sally is kept occupied by other business for all but brief scenes at the beginning and the end of Tin Princess. | |

11th-Hour Ranger | |
| Sally Lockhart / int_cb96fad3 | comment |
11th-Hour Ranger: Jim essentially fills this role in Tiger in the Well, as he turns up towards the end of the book in time to save Sally's house and reputation; Sally explicitly muses at one point earlier in the novel that none of this would have happened if Jim and Webster Garland had been there to vouch for her against Arthur Parrish's claims. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Sally Lockhart / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Axel Bellmann turns out to be one, and his explanation bears many similarities to the arguments used to support a nuclear deterrent. Sally's total conviction that he's wrong is more because she's essentially an idealist who believes that a peaceful world isn't worth having if it's based on fear, rather than because she faults his logic. Of course, this is also a case of Dramatic Irony; even though the book is set before things like a nuclear deterrent were even conceived of, it was written some time after it became painfully apparent that weapons of mass destruction do not bring about world peace. | |
