| - There are 22 dimensional stewards working for Tokimi and the other Chousin. D4 rules over 4-dimensional space, whereas D11 rules over 11-dimensional space, and so onwards. For comparison, according to Brane Cosmology and M-Theory, universes are just 4-dimensional branes in a higher-dimensional structure, with multiverses containing 10-11 dimensions in sum total.

- Dorothea is older than Dick: In matters like these (signalling), though she was the elder of the two, she always felt that Dick knew best (WH2). The Japanese translations of the books say that Dorothea is older than Dick. They take delivery of their own sailing dinghy Scarab in The Picts and the Martyrs, having learnt to sail in Coot Club. Despite being younger, Dick is captain and Dorothea mate of Scarab. Dorothea thinks that Peggy can not be much older than herself despite being one of the four elders (WH4), though later she is one of the four brats with Dick, Titty and Roger (WH12). Sammy the policeman finds Dorothea's sandshoe prints under the trees. Peggy's hoof fitted .... fitted exactly and he concludes that the Beckfoot burglary was the Amazons up to some game. But Peggy's sandshoes are the same size as Dots: Nancy says that Dot's got biggish hoofs for her size (PM21). Dick is a scientist: In Winter Holiday Dot says to the Swallows Dick's an astronomer (WH3). Dot recalls that day when Dick succeeded in making sulphuretted hydrogen, and unluckily stumbled by the door and sent his whole apparatus flying into the spare room where Mr Jenkyns was to sleep (WH21). In Pigeon Post Dick's a geologist, and Nancy's turned him on to reading all Captain Flint's mining books .... says Peggy. Dick deduces that Timothy is an armadillo: Nancy checked herself when she says to Titty Dick .... We've been looking through the natural history books, and we're pretty sure it must be an armadillo (PP1). So Dick had a slip of paper on which the careful Dick had noted down the usual size of such animals (PP2). So Dick's recommendations carry the weight of expert 'scientific' opinion and are often deferred to by Dot. When they are Signalling to Mars from the barn, Dorothea always felt that Dick knew best as he could think out things like this better than anybody although he could not make up stories about people. Dorothea's instructions to Dick are delivered with some authority and usually complied with, eg (like Susan with Titty and Roger) telling Dick not to stand in the middle of the road (WH8). But when the cautious Dorothea was on the point of saying that Dick had better not go (on the sailing sledge) she stopped herself in time. She knew Dick's face very well, and one glance at it showed that at that moment it would not be any use to try to keep him back (WH16). Dorothea lives in London as she had been seen off by her mother at Euston. Dick, coming straight from school, had joined the train at Crewe. For Dot: London last night, and now Beckfoot. (PM2) In Winter Holiday the Ds are accompanied on the train north by Mrs Dixon as she says that Mrs Callum gave them (the return tickets etc.) to me just as we were catching the train (WH9). In Coot Club they travel unaccompanied on the train (CC1); and also in The Picts and the Martyrs, when Dot is seen off by her mother at Euston .... and Dick.... had joined the train at Crewe {PM2}. The D’s are referred to as "town children" in Winter Holiday:
* Good for those two town children thinks Nancy (WH20).
* Susan says People oughtn’t to be allowed to be brought up in towns (WH27).
* John thinks of Dorothea, a little town girl (WH27).
* When Dorothea hears the noise of sawing and hammering for the new sledge she says to Dick that the sheep’s died after all, and I can hear them making the coffin (WH13). The Ds are a very loyal partnership, and cooperate to solve problems.
