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.

because she's a wonderfully written real human person who is very kind and very imperfect
