In ''Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling'', Bobby recalls once yelling at his mom that Carol wasn't his "little girlfriend," but doubts that he's remember it correctly, since he wouldn't have dared be that rude to her. A reader who flips back to ''Low Men in Yellow Coats'' can find the scene he's thinking about and verify that he's right to doubt - he didn't actually yell or even say it out loud, he just ''really'' wanted to.
