Line 23:
* [[Christmas Cake]]: Poor Valancy suffers a lot from this at the beginning of the novel.
* [[The Clan]]: The Stirlings.
* [[The CobblersCobbler's Children Have No Shoes]]: Roaring Abel is a carpenter, but his own house is falling apart. {{spoiler|Dr Redfern is another example: he sells treatments for hair loss and rheumatism, yet he suffers from both. They ''are'' implied to work solely on [[Placebo Effect]], though.}}
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Valancy foolishly goes to a dance where some drunken men harrass her. Fortunately, Barney arrives in time.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Valancy blossoms into one after the news from the doctor, much to her family's dismay.
Line 81:
* [[Silent Treatment]]: Valancy's mother's preferred method of punishment.
* [[Sinister Minister]]: Dr. Stalling, but only in Valancy's eyes. Roaring Abel (and the reader) sees him as simply pompous, narrow-minded and rather stupid.
* [[Suddenly -Suitable Suitor]]: To the Stirlings, Barney becomes a perfect suitor for Valancy when they discover his real last name.
* [[Terms of Endearment]]: Barney calls Valancy "Moonlight".
* [[Thicker Than Water]]: Cousin Stickles admonishes Valancy with this.
