Line 31:
* In the ''[[Left Behind]]'' books, after Carpathia's resurrection, the standard greeting becomes "He is risen," with the response being "he is risen indeed": the "he" refers to Carpathia. The Christians reclaim the greeting (since it was originally the Paschal greeting), placing a slight emphasis on the "he" to indicate that they are referring to Jesus instead of Carpathia. This allows the Christians to interact with the rest of the world without drawing suspicion to themselves, while at the same time not violating their beliefs.
* ''[[Dune]]''. In the greenhouse room Jessica finds a note from Lady Fenring, a fellow Bene Gesserit. The last line of the message is "On that path lies danger", a secret warning code that there was a hidden message nearby. Jessica finds the hidden message as a series of dots on the underside of a nearby leaf.
* In ''[[Helm (Literature)|Helm]]'', in Denesse Sensei's first conversation with Leland, his comments about the tea are simultaneously commentary on the [[Upgrade Artifact|effects of the Helm]].
* In ''[[Jason and Thethe Argonauts]]'', Jason tells a camp's general that he is visiting Thessaly to reclaim his rightful throne from Pelias, who had [[The Usurper|usurped]] it twenty years before. The general tells Jason, "When your father defended his throne, no man fought harder than I." Of course, the general is [[King Incognito|secretly Pelias himself]], so the second meaning is, in a sense, "truer" than the seemingly straightforward one (he fought hard enough to ''win'', after all).
