* ShoutOut: To the ''Literature/FatherBrown'' story "The Queer Feet", and in particular Father Brown's line "I caught him, with an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world, and still to bring him back with a twitch upon the thread." The invisible line seems to be drawing several of the characters back to Catholicism as the book nears its end.

* AloofBigBrother: Sebastian's elder brother, "Brideshead"[[labelnote:*]]Not his actual name, which is never revealed to the reader, but a shortcut for his title, "Earl of Brideshead" (actually his father's, the Marquess of Marchmain's second title, according to the title rules of English nobility). The fact that he is only ever addressed by his aristocratic title instead of his Christian name DOES correspond with his aloofness and overall character, however.[[/labelnote]], acts so "logically" and "to the point" most of the time that he typically treats his siblings coldly.

** Actually, "Brideshead" and "Bridey" is not his first name (that one is never revealed), but shortcut for his title, that is "Earl of Brideshead" (actually his father's, Marquess of Marchmain's second title, according to the title rules of English nobility). The fact he is constantly being addressed with the title instead of his name (to the extent his Christian name is never even revealed to the reader) DOES correspond with his aloofnes and overall character, however.
