it’s time to let my theories for a walk. Actually we’ve know a lot from the spoiler frame.
The neckerchief. Most often it’s remembered because of dandy. But dandies were in the 19th century. And the flashback obviously happens much earlier. Neckerchiefs were also fashionable in the days of Louis XIV. He lived at the beginning of the 18th century. This is better for us. Shirt cuffs also look like 18th century shirt. All of these mostly worn by aristocratic people, so we can say that Lawless is probably from a noble family.
Btw this is also hinted at by his love for chatter, discussions and his whims (“ordinary” people didn’t have so much time for this). He and Hugh (I think he is from the nobility too) speak more than the rest.
Lawless, as we know, always chooses famous persons for contracts. If this happened at that time, I think any peasant would be uncomfortable in aristocratic society. Hedgehog doesn’t.
Then more. Unlike other servamps, Lawless cares about fashion (I’m not saying he is good at it). Of course this may be a new habit, but other siblings have nothing alike.
I think that dialogue takes place 10-40 years before the meeting with Ophelia, who apparently lived in the middle of the 18th century (we calculate, knowing that the meeting of servamps was 300 years ago). She was the fifth eve, and we can assume - at the flashback Lawless already had Eve(s). Maybe he’s the first who had.
I won’t be surprised if he says exactly this in the picture
UPD. Ok I’’m reading spoilers right now and HOLY SHIT ARE YOU SERIOUS? ITS SO SOOO!!! WHAAAT ok I’m obviously right in several ways.
Stwven Moffat, Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie on a “Doctor Who” promotion at London’s South Bank, along with a stunning “3-D” mural by artist Joe Hill.
I thought that spot looked familiar; that’s Sherlock about to chuck not-Faith’s gun into Thames. I was just watching this. Weird.
Also, if someone could explain to me why tweaking-on-godsknow-what Sherlock is the hottest thing I have EVER in my life seen good fucking CHRIST I’d appreciate it. I’m a bit worried about my taste in men now, honestly.
