* In Scottish Gaelic, a 'bree' is a 'great disturbance'. Jamie is amused at Claire's nickname for Brianna because of this. It's made even more funny when you think of how fitting the name is for Bree, who seems to cause a 'great disturbance' wherever she goes (metaphorically and physically). In ''Echo'' a fellow worker of Brianna's hears her nickname and is about to point out the above when Bree cuts in wryly and admits that she knows.

* The first time Clare shows images of Brianna to Jamie in ''A. Malcolm'', he ''immediately'' approves of Brianna when he sees a picture of her ''with a massive axe'' having just chopped some wood - done like a Fraser; no tiny little axe for her!

* While visiting Jocasta, Claire is accosted by the foppish Phillip Wylie, who insists that she's been flirting with him and kisses her against her will. She leaves, flustered and angry, and immediately runs into Jamie. They have what appears to be a normal conversation, but Jamie keeps pausing to frown and looking at her oddly. After a few minutes, he finally interrupts her mid-sentence to ask her what in the name of God she's been doing and tell her that Wylie's false birthmark is still stuck to her cheek.

* The tension around John and William's visit is somewhat broken when Young Ian accidentally knocks William into the privy. Jamie and John are practically rolling on the floor with laughter as William grows increasingly angry. Even more funny (to the reader anyway) is Ian's sudden and entirely silent realization that William looks just like Jamie when he's angry. After glancing confusedly between Jamie and William for a few seconds, he catches Claire's warning look and his face goes "unnaturally blank."
* Claire tells Jamie to "“Then look happy, damn you!” at Brianna's (Protestant) wedding. Jamie proceeds to "assume an expression of benevolence one degree short of outright imbecility," unnerving several other guests. Germain sees Jamie making faces, and adopts the same expression, encouraging Fergus to do the same.
