Ronan is less loud than Hepburn, but she has inherited some of her hustle and bustle, and anyone who admired Ronan in the title role of Gerwig's "Lady Bird" (2017) will note a similar fixity of purpose in her portrayal of Jo. Also, when she appears within the same frame as Laura Dern, who plays Marmee, they genuinely look like mother and daughter, with their long, grave features, and you can see Marmee wondering, as every parent does: If I spy so much of myself in my child, is that cause for hope or fear?

Critical interpretations to The Third Policeman have been varied. Anne Clissman, writing in 1975 in the first major study of Flann O'Brien's work, considers the book to be "in many ways a continuation of some of the ideas expressed in At Swim". She described the book as "in parts, extremely amusing, but the overall effect is anything but funny" and noted that the book "shows a fixity of purpose and clarity" which she contrasted with the "organised chaos" of At Swim-Two-Birds. Clissman regards the novel as a less experimental work than At Swim: > Its central concern is not, as in At Swim, with varying methods of > presenting reality in fiction, but with reality viewed through the medium of > scientific and philosophical concepts.

Inglis's personal style was described by fellow suffragist Sarah Mair as 'courteous, sweet-voiced' with 'the eyes of a seer', a 'radiant smile' when her lips were not 'firmly closed with a fixity of purpose such as would warn off unwarrantable opposition or objections...' The Scottish Federation's most important initiative was the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service. Inglis felt that it was important for the hospitals to have a neutral name in order to attract "wide support from men and women". Inglis was able to use her connections to the suffrage movement to raise money for the Scottish Women's Hospitals (SWH). Inglis first assumed that the Scottish Red Cross could help with funding, but the head of the Scottish Red Cross, Sir George Beatson denied Inglis’ request stating that the Red Cross was in the hands of the War Office and he could have “nothing to say to a hospital staffed by women.” To help get the ball rolling for the SWH, “she opened a fund with £100 of her own money.”Sheffield Telegraph, 30 November 1917.
