[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth

"You just mentioned the new heir, what's his name?"

Cora's previous efforts to get Mary to inherit Downton Abbey have been less than satisfactory.Some of the lawyers who received the news directly rejected this difficult case, and some said after careful study that the contract they signed was almost impeccable.

During this time, Robert held a memorial service for Patrick in Downtonshire, and many people from the town came to attend.Lawyer George sent the latest news, the identity of a new heir.

Cora mentioned his name in the chat just now, and Cynthia felt the above question was familiar.

Cora said to her, "Matthew Crowley, his father is a doctor and he is a lawyer."

Robert said rather strangely: "I didn't expect that I have a relative who is a doctor."

Cynthia glanced at him, is it strange?You will also have a daughter who is a doctor, just this person can improve your acceptance of work.

Edith took it: "I heard that I'm working in Manchester, and my father has sent a letter."

I really can't wait, this is the thought of everyone except Robert.Edith was satirized by Mary at the memorial service before, and she kept holding her breath. Now that Mary's inheritance hope has failed, she can't help but gloat.

Mary held up the teacup with one hand, covering her mocking smile: "He must think it's a good thing that the heavens have fallen when he receives the letter, and he will definitely come to Downton immediately."

It was Cynthia who finally remembered the Manchester lawyer, the one she had met in the law firm in the previous circus case.At that time, she was also surprised that the two of them had the same surname, but she didn't expect that they were actually relatives.

Going round and round, he is now the heir to Downton Abbey.

She recalled the exceptionally gentle cousin Matthew, who didn't look like the inherited and turned faceless character in Austen's novels in just one meeting.But maybe it is, in this hierarchical society, he jumped from a middle class to the heir to the earl.

The changes brought about can destroy a person, it depends on his subsequent performance.If Matthew Crowley is really unworthy in the future, Cynthia plans to seek foreign aid. For things that cannot be done by law, Mycroft Holmes, who is known as the British government, must be able to easily solve the problem of restricting inheritance.

Knowing the identity of the new heir, all that remains is to wait for this Mr. Matthew to come to Downton.As a result, they waited for a letter hoping to meet Robert, and the scene that Mary expected that the other party could not wait to come did not appear.

Mary's thinking about this is that the other party must be pretending, pretending to be dismissive of the title and property.This is a bit prejudiced. It seems that Mary doesn't have the slightest affection for this cousin Matthew.

It happened that Cynthia was also going to London, so she set off with Robert.Robert was very happy that his family was looking forward to Matthew's arrival as much as he did. After all, both Cora and the old lady felt that his behavior was a bit too hasty, even if he was the heir, he might not necessarily live in Downtonshire now.

In fact, Robert really misunderstood Cynthia. She could be said to be indifferent to the arrival of new members, neither expecting nor disgusting.

On the way to the meeting, Cynthia asked uncertainly: "Dad, he specified that he wanted to see you. Wouldn't it make him nervous to have one more person all of a sudden?"

Robert really hoped that Cynthia could meet Matthew. He hoped that his family would welcome Matthew and show kindness to him.Coramary had developed a certain dislike for him, and Robert thought that at least one person should stand by him.

The meeting place was set at the Brown Hotel in London, one of the oldest hotels in London built in 1837.It has received many noble guests, and Queen Victoria often visits here, and of course the per capita consumption is not low.

Matthew set the meeting time at three o'clock in the afternoon. Robert thought they could just have afternoon tea together, but Cynthia vaguely felt that the other party postponed because he didn't want to have lunch with them.

Matthew and his mother arrived at the Brown Hotel a little earlier. Matthew frowned looking at the magnificently decorated hotel, "Why did he choose the location here? Just because it's expensive, it fits his status?"

Isabel pulled Matthew and said in a low voice, "Pay attention to the occasion."

Matthew tugged his sleeves and said reluctantly: "I don't want to change my current life. I'm a good lawyer. Becoming an earl and inheriting the manor is too far away for me. I don't want to force myself to change. "

Isabel's smile froze for a moment. Ever since she received that telegram, she felt that there was another possibility for her unchanging life.It's just that Matthew disagreed with her. He felt that the aristocratic life was not suitable for him.

The waiter on the side bent over and asked what they needed. Matthew looked at the time and said, "Please wait, we have an appointment, and he should be here soon."

As soon as the words fell, Cynthia and Robert approached the table.Just as the waiter hadn't left, Robert took advantage of the opportunity to order some afternoon tea, and recommended a few to Matthew, suggesting that he must try it later.

Matthew noticed Cynthia following him, and immediately became vigilant.Shouldn't the earl's succession condition also include the need to marry his daughter?Then he will definitely not agree.As a lawyer, at least he can choose his marriage partner freely.

"This is my youngest daughter, you can just call her Cynthia."

Cynthia was not worried at all that Matthew would recognize her, since her face was completely blocked back then.In this way, Matthew can recognize him. What kind of lawyer is he still, he should be a policeman.

"Cousin Matthew, nice to meet you. I heard that you work in a law firm in Manchester. I don't know what kind of law you are good at?"

Robert wanted to stop Cynthia when she mentioned the law firm. It can be seen that the two people on the opposite side were not disgusted with this topic, so he swallowed the words.

Matthew crossed his hands on the table, and he obviously relaxed a lot when talking about work, "I can't talk about being good at it. The work involves more labor laws, so I'm more familiar with it."

Isabel couldn't help but raise her mouth when she saw her excellent son. It is possible for such an excellent son to become an earl.

Sure enough, the next moment, Robert began to clarify today's purpose: "You have raised your son very well, cousin Isabel. I sincerely hope that you can go to Downton County to take a look and give each other a chance to get acquainted. Downton Everyone at the estate can't wait to meet you, Matthew."

No, you must be the only one who can't wait.The smile on Cynthia's face completely turned into politeness, and Robert's current behavior made her a little uncomfortable.

His praise and invitation to Matthew are all due to the fact that the other party is his heir.If Matthew is not the heir, it must be difficult for Robert to remember that he has this relative.

Isabel said with a smile: "We are also very surprised to know the news suddenly. We will think about it carefully. I also hope to see the beautiful scenery of Downton soon."

At this time, the desserts for the afternoon tea were served, and Cynthia focused on the sweets, and her mood improved a lot.The berry desserts in this hotel are pretty good, and Cynthia ate three of them in a row.

Robert and Matthew next to each other gradually chatted together.Regardless of his aristocratic status, Robert is actually quite kind. Matthew slowly let go of his guard and began to accept this new relative.

Cynthia looked at the time. She came to London today not to meet Matthew Crowley, but to inquire about the list of survivors.She wondered if Jack was on the list, his escape must have been hampered in the first place in third class, let alone a true love.

If they were both alive, Ruth and Jack would be in New York by now.In the vast crowd, it must be very difficult for them to escape Karl's pursuit and survive.

"Miss, do you want to try our hotel's new black tea? It's the latest variety, recommended by a friend."

This is not something that a well-trained hotel waiter can say, and Cynthia looked up and looked into the man's eyes.

"No, I don't like trying new flavors."

After finishing speaking, Cynthia turned her head and talked to Isabel. Isabel is a very experienced nurse who has also seen various diseases.

The two were able to chat quite well, and Sherlock was stopped by a sentence, trying to continue to attract Cynthia's attention.Cynthia apologized to them and left her seat temporarily.

Sherlock also backed away without a trace, he took off his black bow tie, and then took off his brown wig to reveal his original black hair.

The advantage of long legs is that he caught up with Cynthia in two steps, grabbed her wrist and turned around and squeezed into an empty room.

Cynthia raised her eyebrows, withdrew her hand, and asked with a slightly harsh attitude: "Our great Mr. Holmes, why don't you pretend?"

Sherlock knew she was faking it, he didn't pretend his voice, how could Cynthia not hear it.

"I just found out that the Titanic has your cousin's name on it, and the one outside is the new heir of Downton Abbey?"

When it came to this topic, Cynthia didn't have the heart to continue teasing.Cynthia nodded casually, not intending to talk to Sherlock about the family affairs.Sherlock appeared in time, just when she wanted to know about Jack, which could save her a lot of trouble.

"Jack Dawson you've seen a few times before, the blond one. Did you see his name on the survivor list?"

Sherlock quickly went through the list in his mind, and said with certainty: "Yes, congratulations on escaping, there is not only Jack Dawson on the list, but also Ruth Dawson. He also has a sister? "

Finally got some good news, and Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief: "He doesn't have a sister, maybe he found a wife during this dream trip."

"It's strange. Others are busy escaping, but he still finds time to fall in love."

When Sherlock talked about being in love, his face became unnatural.He thought of Cynthia's previous confession at the cemetery, and changed the topic very abruptly to prevent her from thinking about it.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you. I may be leaving London for a while. Because of the Titanic incident, Mycroft is chasing me to ask who is behind the conspiracy, and how did I know the news."

Seeing that Cynthia's expression became tense, he followed up unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I won't expose you. The premise is that Miss Witch can tell me such things in time next time."

Cynthia was speechless: "You'd better catch your villain with peace of mind. How many times can there be prophetic dreams, and I can do it every time?"

In order to prevent Robert and the others from being suspicious, Cynthia didn't stay inside for long.When Sherlock left, Cynthia looked back at his back. After this parting, she didn't know when the next meeting would be.

The author has something to say: Sherlock: Cynthia always hates me when we meet, but she secretly likes me in her heart.Hmph, she thought I didn't know~
