* DoesNotLikeMen: Sophia Jane in "The Old Order" has "a deeply grounded contempt for men" and "hates all men". She has good reasons, what with how the men of her family raped and impregnated their slaves--part of the story is set in the antebellum South--how her husband blew her inheritance on gambling and bad investments, and how years later, after she made something of a financial recovery, her sons ''also'' blew her money on bad investments.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Two old ladies, namely Miranda's grandmother Sophia Jane and Sophia Jane's sister (and Miranda's great-aunt) Eliza in "The Old Order". Sophia Jane was the girly girl, the pretty one in her youth who wore frilly dresses and acts as a proper Southern belle. Eliza for her part is a MaidenAunt, who clambers around on stepladders to her sister's horror, who takes snuff, and who is something of an amateur scientist with both a telescope and a microscope.

* NewYearHasCome: 1941 story "The Leaning Tower" ends with Charles and his buddies going out to a Berlin nightclub to celebrate New Year's 1931-32. It's all very symbolic as the friends--an international crew with an American, a Pole, and two Germans--talk about European politics and nationalities, the last war, and how the next one may go.

The call-forwarding gets even more intense later in the story, when Hans, the most nationalistic of Charles's German friends, asserts confidently that while Germany lost the last war it will win the next one.
