This is so cool. And full of stuff I hadn't noticed. I never noticed Ewen being referred to as Captain Cameron for instance. Apparently I missed 14 instances of it :D

Also, I never noticed there was such a big difference in the choice of names in the narration when the POV changed, nor that there was such a difference, nor that there was such a change as the story progressed. I though those changes were mostly confined to the dialogue, not the narration, but clearly not!

Funnily enough I was just about to flick through FotH tonight trying to work out when and how exactly Keith switches from Mr Cameron to Ardroy, but I don't need to now *g* Basically I was wondering: if Keith were to write Ewen a letter after the events of the novel (assuming some AU where he could do so) then how would he begin the letter? I guess I can go with "Dear Ardroy".

After reading your post I flicked through GitN instead to see what I could spot there, and noticed that Archie calls Alison "Mrs Alison" instead of "Mrs Cameron", which I quite liked because someone (I think luzula?) mentioned that Scottish women at the time didn't necessarily change their names when they married, but Alison seems to end up being called Mrs Cameron a lot anyway.

(Although Archie's own wife is consistently referred to as Jean Cameron. But I think maybe she was already a Cameron before her marriage?)
