Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey (16 June 1875 – 14 March 1905), styled Lord Paget until 1880 and Earl of Uxbridge between 1880 and 1898, and nicknamed "Toppy", was a British peer who was notable during his short life for squandering his inheritance on a lavish social life and accumulating massive debts. Regarded as the "black sheep" of the family, he was dubbed "the dancing marquess" and for his Butterfly Dancing, taken from Loie Fuller, where a voluminous robe of transparent white silk would be waved like wings.

Vicary Gibbs, writing in The Complete Peerage in 1910, commented that he "seems only to have existed for the purpose of giving a melancholy and unneeded illustration of the truth that a man with the finest prospects, may, by the wildest folly and extravagance, as Sir Thomas Browne says, 'foully miscarry in the advantage of humanity, play away an uniterable life, and have lived in vain.'"

The FALL

Poised just inches from slapping into the obstinate pavement, he thought in midair:

The Holy Trinity was where the Absolute had split due to loneliness and invited itself to its own party --- dueling duality, whose wrestling dance was that ecstatic friction of rubbing sticks for fire we call makin’ whoopee: a passion play parody of the twin channel journey up the spine into the mind, striking up the gland (pineal), the third eye, to create the Divine Child, the Logos, the creative spittle that flies from God’s mouth, forming the Word that’s borne on the Air, carried by Spirit, and impregnates the Universe with self-consciousness.

He had been through an unbelievable myriad of hard work and laziness, luck and synchronicity, austerities, previous and future lives, then spelunking into the Collective Unconscious, breaking all previous Akashic records, and growing ever closer to understanding how to wield the dangerously misunderstood insight that Life Is What You Make It.

But, holding the Key to Everything, he couldn’t find the door.

He hit the sidewalk with the sound of a smashed pumpkin.

Still, he smiled, figuring that at least he had found what U2 was still looking for.

Jean Lannes:

a. “short, angry, ladderlord”

b. “His personality is attractive, plus the portrait of him by Julie-Louise Volpelière is so fine.”

c. “ITS LANNES also any1 who calls napoleon a whore with no fear of repercussions gets my vote”

Henry Paget:

a. “In 1809, Paget scandalously eloped with Lady Charlotte Cadogan (born 12 July 1781), the wife of Henry Wellesley and daughter of Charles Cadogan, 1st Earl Cadogan and Mary Churchill. On 28 March 1809, Charlotte's brother, Henry Cadogan, challenged Paget to a duel: "My Lord, I hereby request you to name a time and place where I may meet you, to obtain satisfaction for the injury done myself and my whole family by your conduct to my sister. I have to add that the time must be as early as possible, and the place not in the immediate neighbourhood of London, as it is by concealment alone that I am able to evade the Police." It was suggested to Wellington that working with Uxbridge might be awkward. He said that he'd be sure not to elope with Uxbridge. Later, when Uxbridge was wounded in the leg at Waterloo, he said to Wellington "By God, Sir, I've lost my leg" to which Wellington responded "By God Sir, so you have." According to his aide-de-camp, Thomas Wildman, during the amputation Paget smiled and said, "I have had a pretty long run. I have been a beau these 47 years and it would not be fair to cut the young men out any longer." Had a total of eighteen children with his two wives.”

Admin note: His leg that he lost at Waterloo became a tourist attraction. This probably doesn't sway you on whether he's sexy, but it is fun nevertheless.

The Adventure of the Final Problem: Sidney Paget Illustrations

In the last two letters from our friend Watson we are informed of the dead of the world's first consulting detective after a duel against (former) professor Moriarty. When this story was published in 1893 in  The Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom, and McClure's in the United States. Sidney Paget was the artist behind these images in Strand and Harry C. Edwards in McClure's.

Sidney Edward Paget (4 october 1860 - 28 january 1908) was a British illustrator famous for his illustrations of the Sherlock Holmes stories in The Strand.

He had two brothers who were also illustrators (and who also illustrated some Conan Doyle's works) : Walter Paget and Henry M. Paget. As a consequence, in 1891, when the Strand editor, George Newnes, asked art director W. H. Boot to find an illustrator for the Sherlock Holmes stories, the latter sent an offer to Walter Paget but the letter arrived to Sidney Paget.

Between 1891 and 1904, he did 594 illustrations for Arthur Conan Doyle's works.

The most famous portrait of Professor Moriarty

I really love all the details here

The Italian priest that barely speaks English

The falls looks beautiful <3

The final moment. I think that Moriarty was so desesperate to choose a physical fight against someone who does baritsu. If Watson was there this would have ended with a bullet, I guess.
