 Holm doesn't blindly follow Templar's every whim, however.She is often described as being exasperated by Templar's tendency to be oblique in his discussion of a situation as well as his obsession with writing poetry; in "Once More the Saint" she also criticizes Templar for his blackmailing of Inspector Teal in "The Holy Terror", and on occasion (such as in "The Gold Standard") questions Templar's tendency to act as judge, jury and executioner.The character of Patricia Holm was first portrayed on screen by Jean Gillie in a 1943 film adaptation of "Meet – The Tiger!"
