* [[Author Filibuster]]: It wouldn't be a Heinlein novel without one.{{context}}
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Martians have a highly complex system of politeness. The main problem of the book is that a politician {{spoiler|may be late}} to a ceremony that inducts him into a Martian clan. There is a legend on Mars about a young Martian who was late to something important, and the consequence of this is ''death''. He was given a second chance, on account of being young and having only a partially formed brain. He would have none of it, so he brought a case against himself in court, successfully prosecuted himself for being late, was consequently executed, and is now held in reverence as the ''patron saint of propriety'' on Mars.
* [[Bluff the Impostor]]: The Emperor figures out Smythe is not Bonforte when he agrees to play with his toy trains. Bonforte and the Emperor had a friendly in joke between them: the Emperor would always invite him to play trains and Bonforte would always refuse and make fun of his hobby.
