    • Watson
      • Romantic: "You have attempted to tinge with romanticism" - Sherlock
      • Good friend of Sherlock: "Extraordinary-genius for minutiae"
      • In love with Mary Morstan: "because I love you Mary"
    • Mary Morstan
      • Weak and innocent: "Her hand quivered, and showed every sign of intense inward agitation"
      • "Modest: She wore a small turban of the same dull hue, relieved only by a suspicion of white feather in the side."
      • Clam: Miss Morstan appeared to have a soothing effect upon her.
    • Jonathan Small
      • Frightening: "Besides, I don't like that wooden-legged man, wi' his ugly face and outlandish talk." - said by Mrs Smith
      • Calculating: "The major was raving about his losses."
      • Ruthless: "When I found that he was devoted to me and would do anything to serve me, I saw my chance of escape."

      • Violent: "Tonga thought he had done something very clever in killing him" - Small

      • Very hideous: "having large, misshapen heads, small, fierce eyes and distorted features"

      • Common: "There is nothing more unaesthetic than a policeman."
    • Thaddeus Sholto
      • Nervous: "He writhed his hands together as he stood, and his features were in a perpetual jerk."
      • Self-obsessed: "He was clearly a confirmed hypochondriac, and I was dreamily conscious that he was pouring forth interminable trains of symptoms..."
      • Rich: " The richest and glossiest of curtains and tapestries draped the walls, looped back here and there to expose some richly-mounted painting or Oriental vase."
