After returning to the Minsk Street from the factory area, Klein simply used lunch, fell to sleep, and slept until the sky darkened. When the evening came, he naturally woke up.

Even so, he still feels tired and feels tired from the heart.

After a while, Klein went down to the first floor, lit the gas lamp, prepared to sit on the sofa, read today’s newspaper, but his eyes swept, but saw an invitation on the coffee table.

He first glimpsed and immediately woke up. This was a dinner invitation from Mrs. Starling Sammer who sent her maid to the door a few days ago.

“I almost forgot this thing … a blind date banquet in disguise …” Klein put down the invitation, walked to the bathroom on the first floor, and cleaned his face with cold water, making him look more energetic.

Compared with when he first arrived in Beckland, he had thicker black short beards all around and above his jaws. This did not completely eliminate his own scholarly flavor, but it made him look mature and rough. some.

Not a real acquaintance, I can’t recognize me in person… Klein silently sighed, wipe the face clean, and put the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose.

He did a little rest, put on a straight shirt with a strong neckline, matched with a black tuxedo, and then very formally put on a half-height silk top hat, holding a cane and an invitation, and turned to the next door.

In the doorbell ring, he saw Julien, the maid who opened the door, and Starling, with blond hair curled up and earrings wearing silver jewelry.

Klein took off his hat, gave a salute, and praised politely:

“Mrs. Sammer, you are very beautiful today.”

Although his sentence has a strong perfunctory nature, today’s Starling is indeed much more beautiful than usual. In the field of dressing up her, her ability seems to have a breakthrough growth.

It seems that the matter of catching adultery made her and Mrs. Mary truly become “bosom friends”, and the other is a rich man with a few tens of thousands of pounds. Now he has entered the Kingdom’s Air Pollution Investagatory Committee. There must be enough knowledge in clothing, accessories, etc … Klein is suddenly nodded in his heart.

Starling’s mouth is hard to stop up:

鈥淭his is my new earring and I need a full 8shilling.鈥?/p>

Ms., your style hasn’t changed… Klein smiled and handed the hat, cane and coat to the maid.

The fireplace and pipes in the house bring the feeling of warmth as if it were early summer. Many Young Lady and ladies’ dresses are relatively less rigid, and some have exposed half-white and tender arms, and some are smooth on the chest.

“Luke is talking to several friends about business, and let me say sorry to you on his behalf.” Starling did her duty as a hostess. “You eat first, and I will introduce you to some young ladies with good tutoring.”

Actually, it is not necessary. Let me eat quietly. Will be fine… Klein laughs with a smile :

“I have smelled the smell of food.”

Because there were more guests, more than 20, the dinner was held in the form of a buffet. Klein took the dinner plate and turned around and found that this time the food was more abundant than before:

Cold squid, chicken pie, pea stewed lamb, salted breast, curry food, roast beef, cooked turkey, beef tongue pie, ham, salad and cream cake…

The wine is still champagne and red wine.

This is very much in line with the appetite of carnivores. Klein smashed a large plate, didn’t go looking for someone to chat, shrunk into the corner, and slowly ate East Grade.

“You did good without the chef of Klag Club …” He commented in his heart from time to time.

When he was going to get the second round, he was finally discovered by Starling Sammer.

At the same time, he was next to the wife, saw an acquaintance, serious looking Lawyer Jurgen.

Also, Jurgen is also a bachelor… Klein smiled and scraped together, greeted:

“How is Mrs. Doris recovering?”

Jurgen is not too comfortable to tie the knot:

“She will be discharged next week.”

“This is great,” Klein said with sincerity.

At this time, Starling had brought in several Young Lady to introduce them to them:

“This is Mr. Jurgen Cooper, senior Solicitor. His weekly salary is at least 3 pounds, and there are often cases where he can get paid. His annual income must exceed 200 pounds, and he is young and promising, and he may become a great lawyer in the future. “

“This is Mr. Sherlock Moriarty, well-known detective. His income is not stable, but every one is very rich, such as 10 pound, 50 pound.”

Madam, this introduction is too straightforward … Klein unable to bear sullied.

Jurgen next to him apparently frowned.

Starling doesn’t feel any problem at all to continue the introduction:

“Sara Taylor Young Lady, her parents are teachers of the grammar school …”

鈥淎dina Watson, her father is a civilian in the Beckland Police Department…鈥?/p>

鈥︹€?/p>

Klein smiled numbly and said hello to the lady.

Wait until Starling finishes, Jurgen said solemnly:

鈥淢rs. Sammer, it鈥檚 not a polite thing to mention someone鈥檚 income in person.鈥?/p>

Starling was not angry and responded very seriously:

“No, this is very important.”

鈥淚f you can like each other and build a family, income is an essential foundation.鈥?/p>

鈥淒o you think that there are always meat, vegetables, fruits, milk, white bread, butter, butter and other foods every day? At least 1 pounds of 5shilling are spent on this week, which is not counted, and rented. A good house, spending nearly 1 pounds a week, um, you have to buy water, gas, charcoal, soap, etc., you have to consider the cost of travel, which adds up to 10shilling.”

“This is the most basic cost. Could it be that you don’t bring your lady to the concert to see the drama?”

“Could it be that you don’t buy some new clothes every year? Young Lady, I think that a family has to spend at least 30 pounds on it every year to be considered decent.”

“Apart from this, as well as the maid’s salary, child’s education expenses, medical expenses for preparation, and some necessary decorations.”

“Only if the annual income exceeds 200 pounds, we can meet these needs and have a happy family.”

“So, in order not to delay your time and cause misunderstandings, I think it is necessary to introduce in advance.”

As a Lawyer, Jurgen couldn’t find a language rebut, but fortunately he only had serious and serious expressions.

It鈥檚 frank… but the basic etiquette is to tell the two parties this kind of information privately. Of course, I understand the reason why Mrs. Sammer is introductory… Klein smiles:

鈥淵es, income is very important.鈥?/p>

“Only with an annual income of more than 400 pounds can you hold a dinner of this level, so that your wife can have beautiful dresses and beautiful earrings.”

Starling suddenly lifted his chin and tried to suppress the smile:

“430 pound, I mean, there is some savings every year, to guard against accidents or to invest in stock bonds.”

This is her husband’s approximate annual income.

After finding a topic for the stranger, she left here to greet other guests, and Klein clearly noticed that Young Lady, such as Sarah and Angelina, were more interested in Lawyer Jurgen. After all, the other party looked pretty good, and her work and income were very stable. .

As for the private detective that may enter the police station at any time, it is not the priority for middle-class women, and Klein is now a beard, slightly rough, and the girls are inevitably a little afraid.

After chatting with him for a few words, he found an excuse to leave, hid in the corner, and ate while enjoying Jurgen’s helpless performance.

At this time, his eloquence as Lawyer did not know where to go.

After a few minutes, the two children of Sammer’s family ran around in front of Klein.

They noticed the gentleman hiding in the corner, stopped, stared at the big eyes, curiously asked:

“Mr. Moriarty, I heard that you are detective?”

“Yes.” Klein smiled and responded.

The little girl naively opened the mouth and said :

鈥淐an you tell us about your broken case?鈥?/p>

Her twin big brother has been nodded.

My broken case? It鈥檚 not about Resentful Soul, Secret Puppet, Devil, or cats. It鈥檚 really not suitable for small children… Klein thought for a few seconds, laughed:

“Okay, this is a story about treasure.”

“A military officer who has retired from East Balam was suddenly murdered…”

The detective novels he has read in past life are actually almost forgotten. They can only be made up casually according to the vague impression, and the two children do n鈥檛 care about the unreasonable plot. They listened very seriously and even learned to ask Come down “.

Unconsciously, Klein relaxed a lot.

By the end of the dinner, he was about to leave, but saw Starling’s face full of joy.

鈥淲hat happened to be celebrated?鈥?Klein asked casually.

Starling raised his head and smiled and replied:

鈥淢ary was invited by Mr. Hibbert Hall, Secretary of the Air Pollution Investagatory Committee chief, who will go to his home for a luncheon on Monday.鈥?/p>

“This gentleman is the eldest son of Earl Hall, a real nobleman. He invited all the members of the committee and allowed them to bring 2 or 3 friends.”

Starling paused before saying :

“Mary just invited me and Luke.”

鈥︹€︹€︹€?/p>

Monday noon.

The dressed up Starling Sammer, accompanied by her husband Luke Sammer, followed Mrs. Mary to the Queen District and saw a vast building.

One after another, marble statues, pools, fountains, gardens, lawns, etc., caught her eyes and made her feel nervous after she had not entered the villa.

“Luke, isn’t this necklace and skirt my home?” She asked her husband sideways.

Luke shook his head with a smile :

“Dear, you are too nervous.”

“You don’t need to worry at all, the nobles are living a little bigger than us, eating better, we are not bad.”

Starling heard nodded in succession and seemed to have recovered the confidence of the past.

Entering the villa, they saw the gorgeous crystal chandeliers, saw the hall where many people could dance, and saw a plate of food.

Foie gras, fried dragon bone fish, steamed lobster … Aurmir wine, misty champagne … as described in the magazine … Starling looked at the food curiously, and felt that he could save his own province and can also be in festivals or New Years. , Come to such a meal.

In addition to Aurmir red wine and misty champagne… she finally added a sentence to her heart.

At this moment, her eyes suddenly straightened, and a girl wearing a beige dress was slowly coming.

The girl is blond, beautiful, wearing a pair of white silk gloves, with a pair of small and beautiful emerald earrings, pure and elegant.

Really like an Angel … Even if I have always been proud of my appearance, Starling is also unable to bear to praise this, inexplicably inferior.

“Hello.” She awkwardly greeted the etiquette she had just learned.

“Hello.” The girl gracefully returned.

After the two passed each other, Starling accompanied her husband and Mary to meet the distinguished guests of each and everyone, and to the noble Mr. Hibbert Hall.

After a while, she walked alone to the balcony, intending to ease her mood, but unexpectedly saw the angelic girl just now.

She was looking out at the scenery, and a golden-haired dog was clinging to the shoes with ribbons and roses.

“It’s so cute.” Starling looked for the topic.

The girl smiled and said:

“I thank Susie for your compliments.”

Looking at the combination of a beautiful girl and a golden retriever, Starling suddenly felt that he should have a similar pet.

This will make the Sammer home decent! She asked at the discretion:

“I heard that the nobles will domesticate many hounds, is it?”

“Yes.” The bluetooth is more glamorous than the earrings, and the girl is lightly nodded and said.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 know how much gold pound is needed to buy one?鈥?Starling asked with a smile.

The pure and elegant girl looked down towards the golden retriever, smiling and replied indifferently:

“450 pound.”

PS: Because I have to go to the meeting again, there are no 3 changes tomorrow, so I can only update in advance to maintain my life. Well, I will update in the early morning. After the 25th, this month’s rush to end, there will be even more.
