[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth

The police detective who led Cynthia and the others to the prison to meet with Cousin Winona was Lestrade. It was difficult for Cynthia to match up the police detective who had a kind smile in front of her with the one in the book.

The description of Lestrade in the book says that he is thin and strong and has the demeanor of a detective. From his actions and clothes, it can be seen that Lestrade is a very confident person.After seeing the real person, Cynthia found that Lestrade was not a complacent character.

He was very calm, when Winona mentioned her cousin's name.Lestrade soon realized what she had committed, and his expression was tangled, but he still brought them to the prison.

When Cynthia walked into the prison, she clearly felt that the temperature here was two degrees lower than outside.The prison was very quiet, with very few conversations, and Lestrade was negotiating with the prison guards not far away.

Finally, he said to them: "I can only see one person, and the time should not be too long. It is forbidden to discuss any news about them."

This refers to those feminist organizations, and they even composed a song for themselves.Singing iconic songs, smashing shops, undermining the system, and even voluntarily asking to be arrested are all ways for them to attract social attention.

1911 women were imprisoned in 188, and this was the start of the violence.From 1912 to 1913, they would directly rise to arson. In densely populated places such as railway stations, schools, and hospitals, even the artworks of the Royal Botanic Gardens and the London Art Gallery were also their targets.

The women's suffrage bill was rejected in 13. Through those actions, they wanted to make the public feel unsafe in society and put pressure on the government.

These behaviors continued until the beginning of World War I. Emmeline Pankhurst, a representative of the Women's Political League, suspended all fighting and decided to tide over the difficulties with the British government.Until this time, the government gave amnesty to the captured women.

It is a fact that Winona's cousin broke the law, and it is impossible to get out of prison early when the government is vigorously cracking down on them.Cynthia also knew this, and she still smashed the glass at this time. If she was released from prison for two years, it would be arson, so she might as well stay in prison.

It was her mother who went in to meet the prisoner, and Cynthia waited with Winona in the waiting room outside.The prison guard in the office is a fat man, and his hair is very greasy after not washing for a few days.

He crossed his legs and took out a pack of cigarettes from the table.The prisoner's record book was spread out on the table in front of him, and his fat fingers slid across the names line by line, and stopped on Charlotte Ferry.

"So you came to see those feminist dogs? You are also members of those organizations? Why didn't you get caught? You didn't try your best."

It's not that Winona hasn't read the criticisms in the newspaper, but none of them are as harsh as what the prison guard said.His narrow eyes stared at them like they were looking at a piece of trash.

I don't know how many people in this country hold the same prejudices as him, so Cynthia stopped Winona who was about to argue with him.

Arguing doesn't change anything, maybe sometimes the allies don't do it right, and sometimes people think of them as terrorists.But as a beneficiary, Cynthia couldn't blame them.It is because of their struggle and sacrifice that the remaining women can enjoy the same rights.

Cynthia said coldly: "If you break the law, you will be punished, so they are in this prison now. But they should not be insulted, and neither should we. I hope that the social resources of the British Empire will be used to train a good policeman , not a man like you."

Lestrade, who went out to smoke a cigarette, returned to the waiting room, just in time to see the scene of the three of them confronting each other.He looked at the prison guard with a wrong expression: "What's wrong?"

The man seemed to think that Lestrade, who is also a policeman, would definitely stand by him, and looked at Cynthia ironically: "This lady seems to be a bit biased against the police, and I do stop anyone who visits the prison according to the regulations. She I don’t seem to understand, it’s normal that ordinary people don’t understand the responsibilities of the police, we just want to prevent more cases like this from happening in society.”

Winona almost fell back in anger. She pointed at the prison guard and couldn't think of what to say for a while.It's no wonder that this ability to turn right and wrong can sit comfortably in the office, and promotions are probably all due to flattery.

"I think you really don't deserve to be a prison guard, one, two, three lovers, two illegitimate children. Wow, you are amazing at running three families at the same time. You cheated a lot of money from your legal partner to support those people. , That is not enough. There is not much money in the prison, and you smuggled things in from outside. It is a bit unscrupulous to pay three times the price, but you should have made a lot of money."

"These captured women are affecting your business, and they won't buy those things. So you figured out another way to make money, and clearly marked the price of meeting opportunities. Wow, sir, your business skills are good, why bother Condescending to be in this prison."

Sherlock, who suddenly appeared, chattered a series of words, and others who spoke so fast couldn't keep up with their thinking.Anyway, after hearing this, Cynthia could only come to the conclusion that the prison guard was not a good person, but Lestrade, who was used to cooperation, immediately put on the handcuffs, which was a habit of arresting prisoners.

Their cooperation has always been that one person is responsible for reasoning and despising their IQ, and the other just blocks and arrests them.

After handcuffing the man, Lestrade realized that this was a prison.This situation should be handed over to the warden, he is not good at leapfrogging.

Cynthia glanced at Sherlock, "Why are you here?"

Sherlock kindly provided Lestrade with the position of the warden, and then replied: "Only by communicating with the prisoners can we understand their psychology when they commit crimes."

This idea is also advanced enough, in this era when mental illness has just been identified.He has started to study criminal psychology, so fortunately Holmes didn't really write a tome including all criminal behaviors.Otherwise, it would be a headache to know whether it is those who want to commit crimes or the police.

Cynthia looked at Sherlock very frequently today, but every topic was always ended by him with a few words.When a person likes another person, her behavior cannot be concealed. When Cynthia and Sherlock look at each other, there seem to be stars in their eyes.

Winona quickly felt the pink bubbles on her roommate, and said intimately that she wanted to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, Sherlock gave her a look of what exactly do you want to see: "This is a prison, do you want to admire those iron bars or prisoners in prison uniforms? And you think too much, I have nothing to do with Miss Crawley No, and there is no possibility of further development."

Winona, who was instantly embarrassed in place, couldn't bear to look at Cynthia's expression. Was she being rejected outright by her sweetheart?He can't really fail to see that Cynthia likes him, right?

Cynthia paused with the hand holding her hair, and swallowed the words of thanking Sherlock for helping her contact Lestrade.Mr. Detective, who talks so angry, can only keep bees when he is old!Let that group of humming accompany you in your old age.

After Sherlock finished speaking, he also felt that his attitude was not very good, it seemed a little too straightforward.To say that there is no possibility of the two of them so directly seems to be denying the charm of a lady.

Although Cynthia was not a traditional lady, Sherlock felt that she could stand the words.

He still explained: "I have no other meaning, just express my own thoughts."

Well, explaining it seems to be the same as not saying it.Cynthia acted as if she hadn't heard, picked up a newspaper from the side of the chair and unfolded it.

The title of the new article is Detective Wisdom Fights Criminals, and the main character is Mr. Sherlock Holmes with superior IQ.Cynthia closed the newspaper impatiently, and opened another page that turned out to be Watson's column, which was one of the previous cases.

Still can't get around him!Cynthia put the newspaper aside, displeased to read anything about him.According to Sherlock's ability to analyze people, he knew that Cynthia was angry.

The number of people who were said to be angry by him was innumerable, Sherlock didn't even mean to feel guilty, he just said goodbye and went to see the next prisoner.

Winona was stunned by his operation, as expected Mr. Holmes is different from other ordinary people.The way of treating admirers is really different, so why can't Cynthia think about it.

"Although you shouldn't express your opinion on this kind of thing, but do you really like those Mr. Detectives? Does that count as rejecting you?"

Cynthia smiled, and put down the newspaper she was pretending to be reading.

"I like him. I like him. Since he saved me, every time I listen to him speak after that, I think this man's confident appearance is really attractive. But he has an outstanding IQ, and I'm afraid he hasn't turned on the radar emotionally. Didn't realize I liked him."

Anyway, Winona didn't think the appearance of reasoning was interesting, and she wasn't interested in the case either.Before seeing Mr. Holmes, Winona always thought that Cynthia would fall in love with someone like Jack Dawson.

Talented and handsome, it fits the aesthetics of a teenage girl too much.The age of Sherlock Holmes is too old for them. The age gap and the difference between the lives of the two, Winona can't imagine how they both have very personalities living together.

"Cynthia, you have always been a very sensible person. Have you ever thought that the liking you feel is just because Mr. Holmes saved you in that situation, and it is normal for a victim to fall in love with the first person you see after being saved of."

Cynthia knew that Winona had misunderstood, and the rescue she was talking about was not the kidnapping some time ago.It was the time in the lake, and Cynthia was sure it wasn't because of dependence.After all, it was true that Holmes saved her, but he was also the one who pushed her down.

"I don't know, I'm young, maybe I'm in love with the wrong guy. But it's okay, I still have a lot of time."

This short conversation ended when Winona's aunt came in.Winona felt that because of this incident, her relationship with Cynthia was also a little closer.Cynthia knew the existence of her cousin, and she also knew the person in Cynthia's heart.

Judging from Aunt Winona's eyes flushed from crying, it seemed that this meeting was not going well either.Her cousin insisted on her own justice and would not listen to other people's persuasion, and neither did her own mother.She even felt that as a woman, mothers should also fight for their own rights, instead of hiding at home and contributing silently.

"Her father's work is not going well recently, and many people in the company know that he has a daughter who is in prison. I don't feel that I have lost face by doing housework at home. I love my husband and children and will do it for him. They give, and I don't understand why she can't understand us."

On the way back, Winona's aunt kept repeating the above words.Winona was passing a handkerchief beside her, comforting her constantly.Cynthia remained silent. It seemed that what they did was right from everyone's point of view.

She has what she insists on, and no one can force Winona's cousin to give up her ideals.It's just that her parents persuaded their child not to continue because the child has experienced all kinds of consequences, for their own sake and for her future.

The relationship between children and parents is an ancient problem. Children feel that their parents cannot understand their pursuit.Parents feel that their children are unrealistic and cannot choose the right path to take.

Winona sent her aunt on the train to leave, and she remembered before she left: "Auntie, the prison guard prevented you from meeting because of selfishness. It will be normal in the future, and you can only meet one person once a week."

When she left, her aunt had already sorted out her emotions and expressed her gratitude to the two of them before leaving.

On the other side, Sherlock went to the Diogenes Club.The club is one of the initiators of the club, and the idea came from wanting a quiet environment.Mycroft sometimes really doesn't want to face those stupid goldfish, to the point where chasing you listens to them and your head hurts.

So this club where you can't speak and need to be absolutely quiet is held.Almost everyone who joins this club likes to be quiet. You can meet well-known writers and important government officials here.

The hall was closed for conversation, and Sherlock was brought to Mycroft by a waiter wearing silent shoe covers.He gestured twice in sign language, indicating that he had something to say in the reception room.

Mycroft put down the small cake covered with icing sugar in his hand, his eyes were still lingering on it.Sherlock made another comparison: You have already gained three catties, so you should stop eating. The next time she sees her mother, she will definitely not recognize the fat man in front of her as her son.

Mycroft turned back words in his mind, and then gave up after too many gestures.When they reached the reception room, Mycroft replied, "My mother is not that old yet, but I will bring your words to her at Christmas."

If he didn't mention it, Sherlock almost forgot about this festival.The two brothers are not people who like this kind of family reunion festival, and they get together every time to deal with their parents.

After Sherlock lived alone, he always missed a Christmas reunion every few years.In his words, he just doesn't know what to celebrate, it's just an ordinary day.

And it seemed that the criminals were also on holiday on this day, causing Sherlock to be very idle.

Christmas is approaching, and 1912 is not far away.The date Cynthia said is getting closer and closer, and the expected maiden voyage time of the Titanic should not be in April.Sherlock previously calculated that the Titanic should be completed in February, and according to White Star Company's eagerness for success, it should officially sail soon.

Sherlock knew why in September, when the Olympic collided mid-voyage and White Star delayed the finishing touches on the Titanic for repair work.

This made Sherlock pay more attention to Cynthia's information, which is why he made this trip.

"I need a ship that can hold 3000 people."

The companies that can build this kind of ship in the UK are all famous with the government. Sherlock can't build one for nothing, and he doesn't have the funds.Compared with him, it was much easier for Mycroft to borrow a boat from those companies.

"You don't need such a big boat to date your little girlfriend, do you want to take her across the Atlantic?"

Of course, Mycroft knew that Sherlock would not ask him for such a thing, it was just a habit of teasing.

For Mycroft, who was privately known as the "British Government" government, it was not difficult to borrow a boat.It's rare to know why my younger brother uses such a big boat. Sherlock is not the seven-year-old Xia Li who is easy to deceive, and there are more and more secrets.

"This is an operation so important that no one but I should know about it. You will be sure to thank me when it is settled."

After all, according to the appointment list investigated by Sherlock, there are more than a dozen people on the list of the world's richest people.

"How long do you want to borrow?"

"Five days."

That's the time it takes for a voyage, what the hell is Sherlock doing.McCoff didn't agree directly, but only said to ask for him.

The hidden attribute is that Mycroft will try his best to meet Sherlock's request where he can. Of course, he will also make his own request. This time, Sherlock returned home for Christmas.

The family should be neat and tidy at Christmas.

The author has something to say: Thank you, little cute boy, I watched your bone-shocking landmine, and the number of words is really surprising~
