Nerds Are Sexy | |
| Uncle Cornelius His Story / int_14a5a8e2 | comment |
Nerds Are Sexy: Seems to be one of the main reasons for the romance between Cornelius and Laetitia; they are both highly intelligent. Interestingly, Cornelius also finds something beautiful about the old female ghost, who may have had a very similar personality to Laetitia's. | |

| Uncle Cornelius His Story / int_5c9503db | comment |
Classy Cane: Cornelius carries a knobbed walking-stick, which he may well need as a prop, given that he is somewhere in his sixties in Victorian Britain. Given that he's also an occult adventurer, it may well have other purposes. | |

Cute Ghost Girl | |
| Uncle Cornelius His Story / int_ac1a6ce3 | comment |
Cute Ghost Girl: Although the ghost is of an elderly woman, even in his twenties Cornelius finds her more attractive than terrifying. This may be because he thinks Nerds Are Sexy. | |

Red Herring | |
| Uncle Cornelius His Story / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Cornelius' long speculation about myths originating from bizarre prehuman cycles of life on Earth has absolutely nothing to do with the main story, which is about his encounter with what appears to be a perfectly "normal" ghost. | |

Old Maid | |
| Uncle Cornelius His Story / int_ff2ceef1 | comment |
Old Maid: Laetitia's fate, after Cornelius loses interest in her. We don't know if she had any other suitors, but she dies, apparently still single, just before the events of the Framing Story, in the 1860's. This may also have been the fate of the old woman whose ghost Cornelius saw. | |
