References

  • Jago has an elderly aunt named Maude who lives in Margate. She recently became engaged to a fishmonger named Robert Botcherby.
  • The "spirit" possessing Jago's body is, in fact, the consciousness of a refugee who escaped from a dying world in the 49th century. He and the other refugees projected their consciousnesses through time and made contact with Mrs Vanguard. They plan to transfer their consciousnesses into the bodies of influential people in 1890s London with their ultimate goal to take control of Queen Victoria. From the historical records, they are aware that she is still in mourning for her long deceased husband Prince Albert. He mentions that, in decades to come, there will be "brutal, terrible wars which will determine the fate of this planet." With one of their kind possessing Queen Victoria's body, they intend to "turn the tides of history" and create a new future, thereby preventing the destruction of their world.
