* When Katherine asks Jack about the Refuge in the stage production, he seems rather uncomfortable talking about it. We aren't given a definite answer as to how long he was there, but it seems that it was long enough for him to be strongly affected by it.

* A bit meta, but it's assumed that Crutchie is sent to the Refuge because he's an orphan who can't make it on his own. But the truth is that in 1899, a kid like Crutchie would likely have been placed in some kind of institution regardless of his family situation or disability level, just ''because'' he is disabled. And that institution would probably have also housed criminals and the extremely mentally ill, which would actually make it ''worse'' than the Refuge is portrayed.
