Both versions of the story place a strong emphasis on the budding friendship and, eventually, undying loyalty between Charlotte and Agatha. In the book, however, we get extended versions of several scenes from the TV show that demonstrate just how deeply Charlotte trusts Agatha.
One of the clearest examples comes when Charlotte tries to run away and hides out at Danbury House. In the TV show, the scene skips directly from the women agreeing to start their friendship over to the arrival of Brimsley and Adolphus to take Charlotte back to the palace. In the book, however, the scene between Charlotte and Agatha is longer, and it makes clear something the show never quite does: Charlotte does, in fact, confide in Agatha about George's illness. That conversation makes Agatha one of the only people outside the royal family to know the truth, and it highlights how much Charlotte already trusts her.
