Near the end of this work, one character poses the riddle of what "goes round the house, and round the house, and never touches the houses." That character assures another that he's secured two horses for her "that will fly like Whistle-jacket," after she frets that she'll be sent to the house of her Aunt Pedigree, which is ten times worse than being locked up. In the preface to this work, the author notes that taking on a "comedy not merely sentimental was very dangerous." A character mistakenly believes he's arrived at Buck's Head Inn, which is confused with the Three Jolly Pigeons, but he's set straight by the woman with whom he desires to elope Constance Neville. The collection of jewels owned by Constance is coveted by the mother of Kate Hardcastle, but Kate is happily allowed to marry Marlow in the end by Tony Lumpkin.
