** Sybil's huge and exhaustively maintained list of friendships have been a running joke since ''The Fifth Elephant'', complete with Vimes thinking that she and the network of women like her wield tremendous behind-the-scenes power if they felt like it. We finally see that in action here.
* [[Busman's Holiday]]: As stated in the blurb. {{spoiler|Played with. Vimes is relieved to have a crime to deal with... at least at first.}}
* [[Call Back]]: It's mentioned that the grounds of Ramkin Hall have a hoho (like a haha, but deeper), as mentioned in [[Men
