Trivia
- Although Ian refers to the encampment as being made up of "gypsies," they are actually Irish Travellers, an unrelated ethnic group native to Ireland that are often confused with the Romani due to being similarly traditionally mobile.
- Esme's suspicious response is due to the fact that Ian is a member of the English peerage; the Irish Travellers have been oppressed by the English aristocracy for centuries.
