The Duke of Darnham was apparently a strong religious believer. In panel 4 on page 2 the museum guide is recounting the story of the Duke of Darnham. The Duke is shown talking to his knights, telling them, "The soothsayer has prophesied that unless the Black Opals of Ealing are destroyed, my family will be forever cursed! I charge ye -- go to Ealing and destroy the jewels!"
