Albert bridge, London, 2023

ON THIS DAY:

150 years ago (23 August 1873), the Albert Bridge, which connects Chelsea to Battersea, was opened for the first time.

Here it is depicted by the Illustrated London News, 30 August 1873.

—

Albert Bridge is a road bridge over the River Thames connecting Chelsea in Central London on the north bank to Battersea on the south.

Designed and built by Rowland Mason Ordish in 1873 as an Ordish–Lefeuvre system modified cable-stayed bridge, it proved to be structurally unsound.

Between 1884 and 1887, Sir Joseph Bazalgette incorporated some of the design elements of a suspension bridge.

In 1973, the Greater London Council added two concrete piers, which transformed the central span into a simple beam bridge.

As a result, the bridge is an unusual hybrid of three different design styles. It is an English Heritage Grade II* listed building.

More Modern AU but with Mycroft

Sherly: I've been thinking about this a lot but do you think I should propose to Liam.

Mycroft: I don't know, you two have been in love since that theatre production you did when you were younger.

Sherly: Okay, I'm gonna do it. Also, I know we haven't been the best brothers to each other but how about I help you get a date.

Mycroft, looking at his watch: Sorry but I have a meeting to attend.

After he was gone...

Sherly: Oh I know he's lying, it's his day-off and no one brings 100-year-old wine from the family cellar.

At the park

Sherly, at the bushes a few meters away from Mycroft: He's going on a date isn't he.

Liam with binoculars beside him: Sir, can you keep quiet I'm trying to watch.

Sherly: Liam, what are you doing here?

Liam: Been following my brother Albert for 5 months and I think he's dating your brother.

Sherly: He's been dating Albert for 5 months?

Liam: Yes. Look what's happening.

Mycroft: *giving Albert the wine*

Albert: You remembered, Mycky.

Liam: Who gives expensive wine out like that?

Sherly: My brother apparently. Did you tell Louis about this?

Liam: Just today, why?

Sherly: He doesn't like me that much, let alone my brother.

Mycroft: *gives Albert a kiss before Louis comes running at him*

Louis with a knife: You Holmes can't get keep your hands away from my brothers, you're a dead man!

Liam: *laughing* Oh my God *starts recording* you have any popcorn?

Sherly: Of course I've come prepared.

Aby, what do you make of the fact that we never once in the manga saw our earl and Sebastian do actual digging/investigation into possible Phantomhive murder suspects? It’s the whole premise of the story (a soul for a revenge), but so many years in, nothing was shown of our earl’s progress on finding those responsible. Do you think that our earl and Sebastian have already learned everything off-screen?

Plot device to delay the inevitable

That's basically what it is... that when they first make their contract, our earl decides that instead of searching out whoever attacked the Phantomhives, he's going to let them come after him in an attempt to finish the job.

He assumes that all the assassins sent to kill him on a somewhat regular basis are just pawns. He's waiting for the person or persons who ordered the attack(s) to show themself/selves.

Apparently, he and Sebastian realize it's not someone like Haku, either. Because he's out of the picture, replaced by Lau. And they don't seem to suspect Lau, since he's been so useful and helpful. Lau has made asides to himself (or perhaps they were just thoughts) that are very suspicious, but I don't think he could even possibly be the "big bad" here. He wouldn't be behind the original attack, anyway, all the way from China, before he had much power. He was already sending letters back and forth with our earl before leaving China, and it could simply be that our earl was planning to get Lau to England and in charge of the local branch of Qīng Bāng... specifically because Haku needed to be "dealt with". Our earl was trying to put together a loyal network of evil nobles and route out the disloyal members of the extended network, too -- like Haku and Vanel.

His father's network seems to have included some very disloyal members. I believe at least two of them were high-ranking members of the cult that bought the twins. And then Kelvin was in the extended network.

Personally, I think Sebastian has at least an idea about who the true culprits are -- the one who ordered it, at least -- and maybe even someone who was involved in her decision making process. Just like Sebastian figured out, before our earl did, that Jack the Ripper was likely Madam Red and Grelle working together, he might have already figured out the ones who plotted the attack were probably Queen Victoria and John Brown. With John prodding her to it, and then her ordering it. He wants his young master to figure out who Jack the Ripper is. Similarly, he might be waiting for our earl to put the pieces together about the "doting" queen and her odd master of horses... with that damned Prince Albert puppet of his.

Our earl suspects his own aunt Angelina of being Jack the Ripper, but it is some final timing clue presented by Sebastian that tips him off it has to be her and Grelle. Something should finally tip him off about the queen and John. Who knows?

Maybe he finally realizes the puppet serves John in a way that something similar would have served Sebastian... if our earl had agreed to the original offer for the demon to make him think his twin had returned. I wonder who might comment about the puppet and get our earl to thinking about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Or -- and this is more likely -- our earl thinks about the timeline and circumstances of the Tower Bridge project... and finally realizes how much the queen has gained from having control over the Phantomhive estate, coffers, and entire earldom for a few months. She would do anything for her "Prince Albert", and that bridge is historically dedicated to his memory.
