OK. Watched the episode. Honestly I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. There were some parts I liked a lot (Dr. Grace's fascination with motor-cars was very cute). And Murdoch pulling apart the toilet to create a new circumscope. But other parts were...eeeeeeh. I felt that the 'mystery' was a bit too obvious and see-through. It could've been improved if it wasn't so damn obvious that everyone hated the murder-victim. It really spoiled it for me. The whole Murdoch's-nervousness-about-married-life thing got a bit tiresome. That stuck-up elevator-boy or whatever he was, I just found irritating. I dunno. It had its moments, but I still didn't enjoy it. At best, 3/5. I liked Julia's hand mirror. The one that William broke to make his 'scope. My mom used to have one like that. I also loved their luggage, though I think they should have had a steamer trunk! Those two little bags could hardly carry enough clothes for a day considering their wardrobes! I liked Wiliam going into Detective Gadget mode and making something while Julia slept. But then his gadgetry is one of the things I like most about this show. I only became interested in the relationship later. In fact when I joined this forum in Sept. 2013, I did not know what a "shipper" was! Hang in there. I am hoping for more complex mysteries and lots of gadgetry. |

Where are her hats? I'm sure Julia made William replace her mirror.  |

I believe prop monkey said that their trunks would have arrived separately or something along those lines. |

In those days, when you went travelling, you brought a LOT of luggage. A gladstone bag and a valise were NOT enough to hold all your clothes. You'd also have suitcases and a steamer-trunk, a portmanteau case, hat-boxes. Toiletry-kits. Jewellery boxes... There would've been a LOT. Likely, they got off the train, and a cart delivered the majority of their luggage to the hotel ahead of them, after it was offloaded from the train. Then they carried their personal bags with them in the horse-cab to the hotel, separately.  Small steamer trunk or case.  Large/full-size steamer-trunk. Steamer-trunks were built like blocks so that they could be easily stacked, and lashed down. In a ship's hold, to stop them rocking and crashing around in a storm or rough seas, or so that they could be lashed down and stacked on a carriage, cart, luggage-trolley, or automobile. The wooden ribs are there to support the weight of extra luggage stacked on top. Without them and the rigidity they give, the cases would just cave in on each other from the weight.  This is a portmanteau. Basically a wardrobe in a suitcase. William was carrying a Gladstone bag, similar to this:  |

My own luggage is so boring by comparison, and travel today just doesn't have the style it did in earlier times. That said, I want a bag like the one above. Want. |

I have one. Not exactly like that, but very close.
