- Moral Event Horizon: The Doones go clear over this point when they attack a local farm, kidnapping the farmer's wife and murdering their young son. This finally pushes the local folk over the edge, and with John who has by then been knighted by King James II at their head, they launch an all-out attack on the Doones' stronghold. Previously, the Doones had been held in check - more or less - by the influence of Sir Ensor Doone, the canny head of the clan; however, when he dies, command passes to the brutish Carver, who has no sense of restraint whatever.
- One True Pairing: John and Lorna. A Heartwarming Moment occurs when you realise that John is narrating as a sixty-year-old grandfather. When he talks about thinking of spring flowers whenever he sees Lorna, and when he waxes romantic on their first few meetings he isn't talking about The Lost Lenore, and he isn't speaking as a teenage boy - he's speaking of his wife of forty years and the mother of his children.
