theres also a cool time/clocks motif going on w raffles which i am predictably haunted by but we cant get into that today
#tbf this one is less character specific and a lot more baked into just like. the prose style#soooo much specific time cues yk#and ofc the clocktower in just and the gun clock in last laugh#but specific to aj theres a lot of like. side details. that put him constantly at the End of things#and idk how much of that would have been intentional#but like hes already 10 yrs into an athletic career when we meet him#he lives in the albany at a time when its future was SUPER uncertain like they talked abt selling it several times in the 1890s#it barely survived the century and its reputation was probably the worst it had ever been#He Himself barely survives the century... and only gets a few months into 1900. he does Not outlive victoria#hes an aesthete but very much at the end of that movement (esp after 95) and his specific favourite niche is WELL before their time#etc etc theres more of this its always rotating up here but as i say. brain dead today#a#crime and cricket#edit ohhhh my gosh i forgot abt the slow bowling#i was trying to remember ik there was a cricket thing abt the 90s for him#im wayyyy less well read on the sports stuff buT#the 90s was like. the transition era to primarily fast bowlers#so even if he hAD like never got caught on the uhlan etc#his career would have looked very different before too long
