Line 59:
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Not a positive example. He observed Father Brown helping a woman run from an ugly man with a handsome one and, assuming it's a typical [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]] scenario, immediately sent a story about how a priest broke a sacred marriage, ruining his reputation. {{spoiler|The ugly one was the lover.}}
* [[Malicious Slander]]
* [[Mirror Scare]]: The key to the murderer's identity in "The Mirror of the Magistrate." {{spoiler|He shot at a mirror -- because unexpectedly seeing his own reflection, he thought he was looking at the man he'd come to kill. Meaning they looked a lot alike....}}
* [[Mistaken for Servant]]: Used in at least two of the stories, "The Queer Feet" and "The Strange Crime of John Boulnois."
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Discussed [[In-Universe]] in "The Sign of the Broken Sword". Being a greedy and corrupted traitor? Not okay. Killing the one who found out about that? Real bad. ''Killing everyone else so that no one would ever find his corpse?'' There we go.
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
* [[Nice to the Waiter]]: "The Actor and the Alibi"
* [[Never Suicide]]: Subverted in "The Three Tools of Death" when {{spoiler|Sir Aaron Armstrong commits suicide and everyone thinks it's murder.}}
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Father Brown appears at first glance to be a simple, not-too-bright parish priest
* [[Off with His Head]]: "The Secret Garden"
* [[Path of Inspiration]]: "The Eye of Apollo"
