The audience in the circus had all left, and the few remaining people were cleaning the venue, preparing to welcome a new wave of audience.

Cynthia lowered her body and nimbly hid behind the cover.She slowly moved into the backstage of the circus. There were more things here than in the front, and it was easier for Cynthia to hide.

The hem of the skirt that got in the way was tied up by Cynthia. She threw her hat casually among the sundries, then found a men's hat and put it on her head to cover her appearance.

There was no sign of Holmes here, and it was unknown where he had gone just for a while.

Cynthia wrapped herself in a cloak, lowered her head and continued walking along the wall.

"Sister Hilton's performance today was very popular, but it's a pity that we are about to leave for Germany, otherwise the reward will be more."

A vague sentence came from the other side, and Cynthia heard the names of the pair of sisters, and after thinking about it, she still walked over there.

The entire circus is in a big tent, but it is divided into small spaces with various partitions for the circus people to rest inside.

It just so happened that the partition here was a piece of wood, and it was still in tatters.Cynthia looked through the small hole on the board, and the person who spoke just now seemed to be the head of the circus.

Opposite him is a couple, with the Hilton sisters playing.The circus master handed over the promised income to the couple.

After the woman received the money, greed and satisfaction shone in her eyes, and the smile on her face couldn't stop.She tugged at the man next to her, and the man counted the pounds in his hand, thinking that this was the performance fee for a performance.

If you follow the circus how many shows a day, the performance fee will definitely increase after they become famous.

The numbers quickly swayed the couple, and the woman said without hesitation: "We're going to Germany too, they have the potential."

Cynthia looked at the two sisters who were still ignorant of their future fate, and anger welled up in her heart, and she clenched the edge of the door panel with her right hand.

After confirming with the couple again, the head of the circus agreed and said that he would help them buy tickets together.

Soon the head of the circus left, leaving only four people in the room.

The man said uncertainly: "Mary, you really want to take them to Germany, what if they are unpopular? And they are not us after all..."

The woman named Mary glared at her husband, indicating that they were still there and not to talk casually.

"I'm just worried that if there is trouble in the future, we don't have the position to decide their future after all."

"What does it mean to have no stand? How much effort we have put into cultivating them. Singing, musical instruments, dancing, how could they be where they are today without us. Don't worry, they have this potential and will definitely become popular circus stars."

Cynthia seemed to know something from the man's vague words.after all what?After all, it's not their child?So no stand.

If it is a biological child, Cynthia is not qualified to take care of it. After all, parents can decide the future of their children.But if there is no blood relationship, it is illegal, even if they adopted it formally, it is still illegal.

Cynthia couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to go out to stop them, and it would be too late for them to take the child away.

But before she could take two steps, she was pulled back, and Cynthia was startled. Could it be that she was discovered?Her heart was beating faster, and she was about to think of words when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

Jack said softly, "Don't go there."

He just followed behind Cynthia, and he had seen this young lady's ability. She actually hid herself so skillfully and sneaked in here.

If Jack had met Cynthia for the first time, he would have assumed that she was a child who grew up in the poor streets of London.

Jack followed closely, and naturally heard the conversations of several people inside.Seeing that this young lady who didn't know the sufferings of the world was about to step forward, he grabbed her.

Cynthia lowered her voice and said, "Dawson? Why did you stop me? Didn't you hear that just now? She's about to take them abroad. If it's not their biological parents, she is restricting their personal freedom."

Jack glanced at the two people inside, and pulled Cynthia away without disturbing them.

"what are you doing?"

Cynthia wanted to pull out her hand, but Jack had a lot of strength.

It was not until an empty corner that Jack let go of Cynthia.He looked around vigilantly and explained to her in a low voice when he saw no one was looking over.

"I heard that. What do you want to do? Make it big and let the police intervene? What will happen to your two sisters?"

Cynthia replied blankly: "They will be taken away by the police, and the couple will not be allowed to continue raising them."

They are free, is there anything wrong with that?

Jack nodded, "And then, because their parents don't want to raise them, they will be sent to a workhouse. Have you ever been to a workhouse?"

The answer is of course no, there are no such schools around Downton, but a few orphans have been placed into certain families.

Speaking of the special name of the workhouse, what Cynthia thought of was Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist". The protagonist grew up in the workhouse and had a very miserable experience.

"I know workhouses are not a good place to be, but now the law has improved and they will be placed in special schools."

Jack smiled silently. There was no irony in the smile, but he felt that the young lady in front of him was very innocent.

"The phenomenon of bullying the weak is everywhere, let alone their situation. If you really go to school, you will be happy? Follow this couple, at least you don't have to worry about hunger, and you can still be welcomed by the audience during the performance."

Cynthia was dumbfounded by what he said, and he was right.Being bullied by other students at school, being skimped by caregivers can indeed happen.

Jack lowered his head and stared into Cynthia's eyes, "Are you still going now? Can you take charge of their lives? And you can guarantee that they will not resent you for your current choice in the future."

Even God can't guarantee the future, Cynthia really wanted to refute Jack in this way.

"Thank you for reminding me that my previous thoughts were indeed wrong."

Jack straightened up, and was about to say that when they were about to go out, they saw Cynthia still walking over there.

Cynthia almost trotted into the compartment before Jack could hold her back.

Because of Cynthia's sudden intrusion, the people inside the door forgot to move in surprise.

"Who are you? Why did you come in?"

"Miss Mary, I heard what you just said. You are not the parents of these sisters, are you? Now you are using them to make money."

Mary Hilton's complexion changed, she didn't expect her husband's words to be heard just now.

She asked in a very bad tone: "I don't know what you are talking about, we are leaving, please don't talk nonsense, lady."

Cynthia dodged her push, and soon Jack came in.Standing in front of Cynthia, there was one more person, and even a man, Mary didn't dare to continue.

"Don't say these meaningless things. I think this pair of sisters is so special. You can ask the hospital to know something about it. If I spread it out, it will be useless for you to say anything."

Mary asked tremblingly, "What do you want? Money?"

Cynthia shook her head, she didn't come to blackmail them.Temporary threats are useless, after all, they have already left the UK.

"I want you to sign an agreement with me."

Before she continued to say what the agreement was, there was a sound of a large object falling to the ground behind.

It seemed that two people were wrestling with each other, and the commotion became louder and louder, and all the circus people gathered there.

Cynthia frowned, and she glanced back over there.The person over there could not be Mr. Holmes who just disappeared, but she didn't have the energy to take care of that side.

Because the couple were trying to take advantage of the chaos and escape, they obviously didn't pay attention to the little girl Cynthia.It was Jack who blocked the passage tightly, and the man was ready to do it.

Cynthia threatened, "Stay here quietly, if you don't want the police to come to your door."

As soon as I mentioned the police, the police appeared.Aren't those people who just rushed in wearing police uniforms?

Cynthia wondered when Scotland Yard had such efficiency?

When the couple saw the police appear, they did not run away immediately.They stood there quietly, trying not to attract any attention.

A few policemen quickly pinned one of the people involved in the fight to the ground, said a few words to the other person, and took that person away.

The man said, "It's Frank, what did he do?"

Cynthia looked back at him, "A circus man? What does he do?"

The man didn't expect that Cynthia would ask him, and said awkwardly: "It's an acrobat. I only chatted with him because of today's performance, so I know his name."

Cynthia didn't continue to ask, because she had already recognized that the disheveled man outside was indeed Sherlock Holmes.

She turned to the couple and said, "Follow me."

Cynthia walked up to the detective, "Mr. Holmes."

Sherlock was picking up the hat that had been thrown on the ground because of the fight, and he looked towards the source of the sound.

"I think the circus has been over for a while, Miss Crawley."

Cynthia raised her hand and touched her nose, "I wanted to apologize to you, but I followed you in when you suddenly disappeared."

I didn't expect to encounter another thing before I saw you.

Sherlock's eyes skipped over Jack, and paused for a moment on the awkward couple, behind them were the conjoined twins who had just performed.

After watching the people present, Sherlock guessed that this is the noble lady expressing her kindness?

But since I saw you, let's say hello, "It seems that you are going to sponsor these two."

"No, I'm taking them to a lawyer."

Sherlock was about to say goodbye because he stopped when he heard the lawyer. Why did he see the lawyer? Could it be that Miss Cynthia wants to formally adopt conjoined twins?
