* BewareTheQuietOnes: Maurice Castle is so quiet, bland, and conventional that nobody suspects him of being a double-agent. Even when evidence points to his office and Africa-related intelligence, Davis becomes the prime suspect himself on account of his trouble-maker reputation.

Added DiffLines:

*{{Foreshadowing}}: When Daintry invites Castle to go pheasant hunting, Castle declines, saying that he's never shot anything in his life. In a later scene, he tries to put down his dog with a revolver, and apparently botches the job, because his neighbors discover the dog slowly bleeding to death and yelping in pain afterwards.


Added DiffLines:

*ShootTheDog: A literal example - when Sarah forgets to take the family dog with her when she leaves, Castle doesn't have time to deal with the dog, so he takes the dog into the cellar and shoots it on the advice of the Soviet agent who's helping to smuggle him out of the UK.
