* Foreshadowing: In the first book when Professor Braithewope (a vampire) wants to know what Sophronia was thinking during their first class, and she tells him she was wondering about him and his tether to the airship. She further muses out loud about wondering what would happen to him if he fell off the airship and outside the range of his tether and whether or not he will die. [[spoiler: In book two, he DOES fall out of the airship from an extreme height, his tether snaps, and the combination of the fall and snap leaves him near-dead. He is still bedridden by the end of the book, and his ultimate fate will presumably be explored in the further intallments.]]
