Line 46:
** "Hi-Ho" probably counts, as well.
* [[Fantastic Fighting Style]]: Poddy's mother is described as skilled in a martial art called "Kill-Quick".
** This same martial art gets a similar reference in several other Heinlein novels, such as ''[[Citizen of the Galaxy]]'' and ''[[The Cat Who Walks Through Walls]]''. From the context, it would appear to not be an exotic martial art but instead how Heinlein refers to military hand-to-hand (in a similar context, his referent for street-fighting maneuvers is "dockside").
* [[First-Person Peripheral Narrator]]: Heinlein seems to have been trying to do this with Poddy, but she turned out to have too much presence and personality for it to work.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Poddy.
