Cool Old Guy: Emerson Eells, a lawyer who chose his profession because he thought he'd be more directly fighting crime in between court cases. He turns out to have a great deal of knowledge about magic and how to counter it if need be, including owning a large collection of protective amulets.

Read the Fine Print: Positive example in The Dark Secret of Weatherend. It's been years since Myra Eels bothered to carefully read the contract she signed when she was made Head Librarian of the Hoosac Public Library, and as a result, she'd forgotten about one clause that was in there, stating that she could not be fired from her job for any reason.

 The Treasure of Alpheus Winterborn / int_280333d4
comment
Hollywood Heart Attack: Mr. Howard Monday suffers one, walking into his home while clutching his chest and suddenly collapsing. There's actually some foreshadowing, as some time before, he mentions that he's been having pains in his chest from time to time, and feels "all wishy-washy". Fortunately, he survives it (and a second, minor heart attack that happens when he stubbornly tries to re-open his business before the doctor thinks he's ready).

Can't You Read the Sign?: In The Dark Secret of Weatherend, Miss Eells blatantly ignores a "No Trespassing" sign as she and Anthony hop a fence to explore an empty house. Anthony mentally notes that Miss Eells hates such signs anyway, and once stomped on one just to show what she thought of it.

Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie
 The Treasure of Alpheus Winterborn / int_493bc214
comment
Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie: Willis Nightwood's will in The Lamp From the Warlock's Tomb involved a set of bizarre instructions for his burial: his body was cremated, and his ashes placed in a can that was sewn up into the belly of a scarecrow that was then taken to an underground tomb on his estate. The scarecrow was placed in a chair at a table marked with a pentagram and where an iron bell, a Dutch china lamp that had been his bedside table lamp for years, and a family bible had all been placed. Certain rites were carried out once the scarecrow was in place, then the tomb's entrance was sealed with earth, boulders and three feet of concrete, and a plaque with the words "It takes jacks to open" (believed to be a reference to his poker-playing days) was affixed to the concrete once it was dry. It turns out all this was in order to prevent the evil spirit that had possessed him (and was now linked to the lamp) from getting loose after his death.

He does, however, ask them to supply him with a few things he misses from Earth (cigars, the comics section of the newspaper and some carrot seeds) once or twice a year, which the group agrees to.

I Am One of Those, Too: While attempting to figure out how Anthony and the Eells siblings found their way into the Autarch's dimension and what they took while they were there, the Grand Autarch poses as an old local fisherman. Emerson, already suspicious and very familiar with the area, confirms it by making up a story about a phony "upper lake"; when the Grand Autarch falls for it, Emerson knows he's a phony.

Ultimate Job Security: In The Dark Secret of Weatherend, Miss Eells is in danger of losing her job after being magically hypnotized and ruining a tea party being held by Mrs. Hanson Oxenstern, head of the library board. Then the last chapter reveals that when she was made Head Librarian, her predecessor was the one who drew up her contract and, knowing what Miss Eells was like, included a clause stating that she could not be fired for any reason, something Miss Eells had forgotten about until it was pointed out when she was formally reinstated. Mrs. Oxenstern is, naturally, quite irked at this, but she can't do anything about it.

Demonic Possession: Willis Nightwood, original owner of the titular object in The Lamp From the Warlock's Tomb, got himself possessed by an evil spirit while performing a ritual to get some important ingredients he needed for a different spell. The evil spirit serves as the secondary antagonist of the story, as the theft of the lamp from the tomb allowed it to manifest wherever the lamp is taken.

Ascended Extra: In the first book, Emerson Eells only comes into play in the last chapter when his sister calls him to represent Anthony in court during the hearings after he retrieves the Winterborn treasure and has to deal with another claimant to the same treasure, and doesn't even have a speaking role. In the latter three books, he becomes a major character who actively joins Anthony and Miss Eells on their magical adventures.

Public Domain Artifact: In the climax of The Dark Secret of Weatherend, the book's villain comes into contact with a glass vial that had been kept in his "father"'s tomb. The vial reacts violently when the villain touches it, and both are utterly vaporized; Emerson Eells later explains that the vial was actually the Blood of Hailes, a relic from Hailes Abbey said to contain some of the blood of Jesus Himself.

I Choose to Stay: After the other Autarches are destroyed in The Mansion in the Mist, Nathanial Wabe decides to stay in their little dimension, which is just big enough for one person to live comfortably. While Emerson offers to bring him back to Earth, Wabe opts out, saying that Earth is too crowded and full of people for him — he just wants to be left alone in peace and to tend his vegetable garden.

Abusive Parents: Anthony Monday's mother is mentally and emotionally abusive to her younger son; it's said she was always telling Anthony that "he was worthless and stupid and selfish", and has a strong dislike of Myra Eells, refusing to believe her son's closest friend is a decent person (though it's hinted she's really just jealous of the other woman's close bond with Anthony). Fortunately, Anthony's father is much nicer, if rarely involved in his son's personal life.

The Paranoiac: Mrs. Monday can never convince herself that the family is in good financial shape — when her husband tries to hire an assistant, she accuses him of being a thief; she's also always telling Anthony to watch out for people who'd want to take advantage of him, and she distrusts Myra Eells simply for being a grown woman who's friends with Anthony. Even after the family comes into a windfall at the end of the book, she's still worried... about losing money. Mr. Monday isn't thrilled by her paranoia, resulting in regular arguments between the two.

Passed-Over Inheritance: When Alpheus Winterborn died, he left his business and most of his money to his son Alpheus Junior, and very little to his sister (he was on the outs with her, though apparently not enough to keep him from visiting from time to time during the last two years of his life) and her son. The son, Hugo Philpotts, has always felt he should have gotten more and is now determined to claim his uncle's hidden treasure to make up for it.
