The Crystal Throne[[edit source]]
Removed inaccurate information.
- Lady Cornelia Basildon-Stone removed the roof on a palace in 1894 and replaced it with crystal. (COMIC: The Crystal Throne)
The material she replaced the roof with was still called glass, just a type of glass that makes the Crystal Palace — the name of an actual landmark in 19th century London — a more effective greenhouse.
Exact quotes from the story:
- Tommy: Well, the lady who had this forest built here -- she's spent a ton on it! More money than sense if you ask me... You know what she done? Only took out all the glass in the roof and replaced it! Why bother, that's what I say!
- Vastra: [in narration box] Interesting. The roof's glass has been designed to magnify sunlight.
Also, where does "1894" come from exactly? -- Tybort (talk page) 23:59, October 22, 2014 (UTC)
