How many times has Vance used the name Garstang?
At least three comes to mind, and I tend to recall several minor mentions in other novels.

Also, while everyone else seems to to be familiar with the "bottomless pit" notion, only with Vance do we continually encounter what I call the "topless ceiling" - you know, the castles and palaces with the ceilings "so high as to be lost in the gloom" :-D
