The Lemony Narrator has sarcastic comments for everyone, including herself:
When describing the methods of the Francescan monks to recruit and convert Indios the narrator makes disparaging comments on their habit of using lazo and stick and explain that La Perouse more compassionate methods had been dismissed by most of them due a most unfortunate circumstance: he's French.
When describing don Alejandro's mansion, the narrator explains that he's also making experiments to find a new and better way to preserve meat to sell to the sailors, and adds that, due the mansion being close to the sea, the smell of such experiments influences the migratory paths of whales.
When Zorro first wears his costume, the narrator points out what the mask actually hides: Diego's humongonous bat-like ears.
Toypurnia was baptized Regina Maria de la Inmaculada Concepción. She promptly forgot most of it and went either by Regina (later Regina de la Vega) or Toypurnia depending on the situation.
