What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOctober 17th, 1926: Queen Mary has fitted all the rooms of Sandringham Palace with Nottingham lace curtains.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEvery room? Oh, I love her.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEvery room. The Associated Press filed it from London on October 16th, and the lace situation remains fluid.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd she gave many of the beds Nottingham lace too. Bedspreads, Hank. Pretty ones.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCurtains and beds. That is a lot of lace for one palace.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a palace that believes in itself.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI checked the palace inventory. They went all in on Nottingham.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWell, some of us prefer our walls bare, Vera.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA commitment to the bit, that's what Queen Mary had.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAlso from the Brownsville Herald that Sunday: the immigration office there needs many translators, because people arrive from the far ends of the earth.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA real Tower of Babel! The paper said so. I'd bring snacks.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Library of Congress has the pages. The Brownsville paper also ran a Dodge Brothers dealer ad.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPatronize your nearest Dodge Brothers dealer? Fine, I will. Immediately.

14. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'll take the lace. Windowless, but ready.
