"Yes they did break"

Zachary was very keen to buy a terrarium to take back to university. As he was traveling by train and with significant luggage, I questioned the possibility that it would arrive in one piece but he was convinced he could manage it. The first one broke when he put it on his window sill and then learnt on it when the curtains were drawn. The second one (the replacement) broke when he accidently punched it (having put it 'safely' on his chest of drawers) playing some game on his new VR headset. He stopped there with buying them! The chances it would have made it to London?!
