Whether Watson wanted to raise geese or not, because he didn't want to kill them, Holmes took it for granted that the Great White could not be a delicacy on their table.
Since it won't become a delicacy, it will have to be a coolie.
Holmes said to Watson, "In the near future you will marry Miss Morstein and run your own clinic." With Dabai raised, it should be a good idea to train him to be a qualified watchdog. He'll help you guard the clinic in the future, and you'll be scared of the thieves. ”
Watson: "......"
Holmes flashed an eight-toothed standard smile at him.
Watson glanced at Holmes fiercely, "Sherlock, if you weren't taller than me and proficient in combat shooting and other sports, you would have been beaten by me a long time ago." ”
Agatha was amused by the two men in front of her and wanted to laugh, but if she was worried that if she laughed, Watson probably really wanted to fight Sherlock Holmes, so she had to endure it.
Watson was a little annoyed and helpless by Holmes, but when he turned to look at Agatha, he couldn't hold back.
"Agatha, you look like you're gloating."
Agatha hurriedly stiffened her face, "Doctor Watson, I don't. ”
That being said, the smile could not be hidden, and it was revealed from those clear blue eyes.
Seeing this, Watson couldn't help it, he smiled and said, "Just laugh if you want, it's nothing." ”
Agatha bent her eyes, "Is it really okay to laugh?" ”
Sherlock Holmes glanced at Agatha and said with a serious expression, "Agatha, don't pretend. Your eyes have betrayed you. ”
Agatha finally couldn't hold back and laughed loudly.
She hadn't felt so relaxed and happy since she had crossed over.
Getting along with Sherlock Holmes and Watson is really a magical thing.
The gentle Dr. Watson always made her feel that no matter what kind of things she faced, it would not be too bad, and he was always gentle and kind and considerate.
Sherlock Holmes has an angular personality, but his gentlemanly demeanor is engraved in his bones, and no matter what kind of puzzle he encounters, he can always solve it.
The most important thing is the gentleness and justice of the hearts of these two men.
Agatha was a little glad that when she was about to leave Appledor Villa, she turned down Brian's offer and went straight to Baker Street.
Although she hadn't found a way out yet, and she wasn't sure if the life she wanted now, she would be glad to have spent time with Sherlock Holmes and Watson in retrospect.
Watson looked at Agatha's unmiscellaneous smile and said, half-complaining, half-joking: "Since moving to the Baker Street apartment, my life has been full of excitement and excitement, and on top of that, I have to bear the risk of a heart attack at any time. Agatha, if you want to spend your life with him, I advise you to be cautious. ”
"Thank you for your kind advice, Dr. Watson."
The smile on Agatha's face did not decrease, with the relationship between Watson and Sherlock Holmes, he most likely knew Holmes's attitude towards feelings and marriage, and also knew that Holmes was engaged to her only for his client, Miss Eva.
"I'm deliberate about who I want to spend my life with. Perhaps one morning after you and Miss Morstein are married, you will read in the London morning newspaper a statement that I have broken off my marriage with Sherlock. I hope you won't be too surprised, and you won't cry out for Sherlock. ”
Sherlock Holmes, who was sitting across from Agatha, couldn't help but laugh, "He won't cry out for me, in fact, John will cheer for you." Agatha, to be honest, my heart is looking forward to that day. ”
"Don't mention these things that haven't happened yet, think about our case."
The more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, Watson couldn't listen anymore, and quickly changed the subject, "My friends, think about where the missing John Horner will be at this moment?" What will happen to him? ”
When it comes to John Horner, the look on Holmes's face is still so leisurely and complacent.
"Don't think about it anymore, since John Horner's disappearance has nothing to do with Ryder James, it naturally has something to do with Countess Moka."
Watson actually thought of this, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and asked, "Are you going to find Countess Moka?" ”
After a night of running, both of them have been overdrawn.
Although they didn't look very tired after breakfast, it was not advisable to spin on a reel, nor was it to be encouraged.
So Agatha said, "Countess Moka is definitely going to look for it, but it should be after you have rested." ”
Holmes looked at Agatha and smiled, "Sounds like you have a way to meet Countess Moka." ”
Agatha did not deny it.
"Lady Millwharton hasn't left London yet, and I'll let her come forward for a introduction, and she should be able to meet the Countess of Moka."
Hearing this, Holmes's heroic brows rose slightly, and his tone was not smiling, "Milwharton has a million differences, but there is an excellent benefit. ”
Agatha couldn't help but glance at him and scolded lightly, "You are not allowed to be so weird." ”
Sherlock holmes:???
Holmes frowned and asked in an incredulous tone, "You were just scolding me?" ”
Agatha was very serious: "I didn't scold you, I just murdered you a little." What do you want to say? ”
Holmes, who had never experienced being murdered a little, was silent for a moment, and replied a little dryly: "...... That is, although Milwalton is dead, his name is still Pass. ”
Agatha: "......"
She clearly didn't expect Holmes to react like that.
Watson couldn't help but laugh.
With two living treasures by your side, life will never be monotonous.
Watson stood up, stretched, and slowly went back to his room to rest, he had a hunch that when he awoke, Agatha would go with Holmes to the Countess of Morka.
Sherlock Holmes, who has never been easily manipulated, may have quietly rewritten his life since the day he met Agatha, a young girl, but he still didn't know it.
==
While Holmes and Watson were resting during the day, Agatha went to Appledor's Villa. Mrs. Millwarton had not yet left London, and was a little surprised to see Agatha return, who had been away for two days.
Agatha smiled and saluted Mrs. Millwharton, "Sorry, Madame, I'm back again. This time, I wanted to ask my wife to do me a favor. ”
It wasn't a big deal to get a post about the Countess of Moka, and Lady Millwharton was so bent on leaving London that she didn't care much about the recent events in London's social circles.
She had also heard that Countess Moka was going to auction the Tears of the Angels on Christmas Eve, but was not interested.
But upon hearing that Agatha wanted to see the Countess of Moka, Lady Millwharton was a little surprised, "Why do you want to see the Countess of Moka?" ”
Before Agatha could reply, she smiled and asked, "I think about it, but I don't think you can have anything to do with her, and I can't think of what you can talk about when you see her?" ”
Agatha smiled: "Madam, Countess Moka's Angel Tears are going to be auctioned, don't you want to go and see it?" ”
Mrs. Milwalton, who had shown great interest in Mr. Milwarton in the past, now seemed to be disinterested when she heard that Angel's Tears was to be auctioned.
"If Mr. Millwharton were still alive, I might be interested. Now that he is dead, I, a widow, have nothing but fear in my heart when I carry such a precious thing. After all, the Metropolitan Police has handled a dozen criminal cases for Angel Tears so far, and I don't want to leave London with a bad cause. ”
In fact, Agatha had already thought of such a result.
Mrs. Millwharton did not have much affection for her husband, but she liked Mr. Milwalton's courtesy and courtesy.
The harder things to do, the harder things to get, the more she liked to ask Mr. Millwarton for them.
"Madame is not interested, but I am a little interested."
"You're interested?"
As if she had heard some big joke, Mrs. Millwharton said with a smile and a hint of obvious mockery, "Agatha, do you know the value of angel tears?" That's something you can't touch in your life. ”
"But beautiful things are always desirable."
Agatha understood Mrs. Millwharton's mockery, and was not angry about it, she just looked at Mrs. Millwharton, and her tone was calm, "It's like romantic love, although you can't get it, it doesn't make it desirable." Madame, are you right? ”
Mrs. Millwharton was stunned.
Agatha: "Ma'am, Brian looks like someone you once knew, right?" ”
Mrs. Millwharton frowned slightly, and her tone was displeased, "You're talking nonsense. ”
Agatha didn't say anything more, but smiled and said, "Madam, last time I heard from you, Countess Moka would attend Miss Eva's banquet tonight. ”
Mrs. Millwharton was a wise man, and she already knew Agatha's intentions when she heard it.
"You don't think you'll give you Angel Tears when you see Countess Moka at a banquet?"
Agatha smiled and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the garden.
Brian, dressed in a pale blue worker's outfit, was pacing back and forth outside the garden, looking inside from time to time, and he had someone in his heart who couldn't let go, and that person was inside.
Agatha looked at the tall and handsome young man, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, "Madam, of course I don't think like that. I just have something to do and want to meet the Countess of Moka in private. ”
Mrs. Millwharton followed Agatha's gaze and pursed her red lips.
She saw Brian too.
It was the young man she wanted to take away, handsome and cheerful, like the boy she fell in love with at the beginning of her love. She never imagined that in the Villa of Appledor, there would be a teenager who looked almost exactly like the person she once loved.
Mrs. Millwarton walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and the sun shone down on her, she was as beautiful as the goddess of the temple of Athena.
Agatha stood beside her, "Madame, you are about to leave London, and I know that you have no intention of making too much contact with your acquaintances in London, so why not open a convenient door for me, and I will be grateful to you." ”
Mrs. Millwharton's eyes narrowed slightly, "How can you be grateful to me?" ”
Agatha turned around with a smile, "Brian's love, how's it going?" ”
Mrs. Millwalton sneered: "I never knew that a person's love can be easily betrayed. You're not Brian, how can you make him love. ”
"But I can make him die for me, Madame is anxious to let me leave the Villa of Appledor, doesn't she just hope that he will clean up his mood as soon as possible and leave with you with peace of mind?"
The world is like this, what you want may be something that others have already gotten but will not cherish.
Agatha didn't mean to trample on anyone's heart, but she wasn't the original, and Brian still had thoughts about her, which made her feel like pins and needles.
She can continue to live in London as Agatha, but she doesn't feel comfortable accepting Brian's dedication to her.
Agatha said to Mrs. Millwharton, "I will let Brian leave with you in peace, do you think it is okay, ma'am?" ”
The eyes of the young and beautiful young lady fell on Agatha, and she looked at the girl in front of her, and felt that the girl had changed somewhat surprisingly since Mr. Millwharton's death.
She still looks slim and charming, but the innocence that filled her eyebrows in the past is gone, and her blue eyes are moist and bright, and her expression is calm and calm.
Mrs. Millwharton couldn't help but wonder: Can a person make such a huge change in a short period of time?
Agatha seemed to see through the doubts in Mrs. Millwharton's heart, and asked with a smile: "Madam, how did you decide to marry Mr. Milwarton in the first place?" ”
Mrs. Millwharton remembered the past.
At that time, her father's career was in an unprecedented crisis, and he told her that if she married Mr. Millwharton, all the crises would turn into a turning point, she would have a good life, and her relatives would be carefree.
If she doesn't marry, within ten days, the family will live a life of displacement and no fixed home.
Once the wealth is gone, the young man who loves her may be willing to share the joys and sorrows with her, but the poor couple mourns, and no one can guarantee that he will be affectionate for the rest of his life, and no one can guarantee that she can really endure hardships with the young man who is used to living a good life.
She locked herself in her room for three days and decided to marry Mr. Mill Walton.
The moment she stepped out of the room, she was still her, but there were some things that had been made at the moment she made her decision, and she could never go back.
- She is no longer a simple girl.
Mrs. Millwharton's thoughts pulled back, and she didn't know what Agatha had been going through when she left Appledor Villa.
But she suddenly understood the transformation of this young girl.
Agatha looked into her eyes and still smiled, and her voice was the same as before, "Madam, I believe you have long understood that women should plan for themselves the most. I don't want to spend the rest of my life at the mercy of a servant at the mercy of a rich man's house, and I have important things to see with the Countess of Moca, and to see that she is easy for you, but a little difficult for me. As long as you help me get an invitation to Miss Eva's party, Brian will leave London with you. ”
