if I had a nickel for every time Harriet Vane had to awkwardly comfort a heartbroken middle-aged woman who was sobbing on her shoulder over much younger man, while trying to soothingly fix said woman's makeup, while also trying to hide how Deeply Uncomfortable she (Harriet) is, I would have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

one of harriet's character flaws is that she can be pretty judgy towards other women
especially when it comes to displays of emotion and inferior fashion sense
and we do see that side of her in these scenes along with her unselfish kindness
because she's a wonderfully written real human person who is very kind and very imperfect
