They constantly shoved and slapped at each other until the solicitor traveling with them separated the boys.
While they traveled to Havisham Hall, where they became the wards of the Marquess of Marsden, Albert unwittingly offered a distraction, providing a place for Edward to vent his anger and frustration over life’s unfairness. During the evening of the day their parents were buried, Albert crept into Edward’s bed so neither of them would feel so lost and alone. At the age of seven, older than Edward by only an hour, his twin had become the Earl of Greyling that night when their parents were killed in a horrific railway accident.ĭays later, Albert held Edward’s hand as they sat dutifully in front of the caskets that contained whatever remained of their parents. The only thing that saved it from going completely black was Albert. On the cold and dreary evening of November 15, 1858, Edward Alcott’s life turned gray.
