Baker Street Check-In Record [Sherlock Holmes]

The Sylvester family is small, but they are all well-trained, and Leslie has colluded with them to make a confession, so as not to expose the fact that the younger sister of the family went out to study pretending to be a man.

Although it is said that women's status has improved compared to a few years ago, it is undeniable that women's focus is still on the family, and naturally they are not allowed to go to college.

Leslie also thought about whether her little sister would be embarrassed seeing Holmes, but seeing that Cecily was indeed completely different from usual when she was dressed as a man, she felt relieved.

The weather in London that day was cloudy as usual. When Cecily got up in the morning, she opened the corner of the curtains, and she could see an empty carriage passing by at the corner downstairs. One of the horses had a brown-black leg, as if a sock was missing. The groom walked forward leisurely while holding the reins.

When the two brothers Holmes were guests, Cecily was sitting in the study and arranging her notes.The maid knocked at the door, and whispered to her Little Master Larry, that his friend was coming.

Cecily couldn't help thinking that the word "friend" is very shallow in the eyes of others, and a word is considered a friend.

She was a little nervous.

When she was reading the novel, Mr. Sherlock Holmes never concealed his admiration for his brother, and always believed that his brother's ability was superior to her own, but he was too lazy.Cecily was really worried that Mycroft would spot her as a counterfeit product at a glance.

Feeling a little floaty.

As she descended, it was Mycroft who noticed her first.

Mycroft lifted his head a little. He was still young and untroubled by the fat, with sleepy eyes under bushy brows.

Cecily didn't dare to jump to conclusions, and bowed to say hello in a friendly manner. She deliberately didn't drink a lot of water, and her voice would become hoarse.

There was a vase on the reception table, which was an antique that Leslie had found somewhere. The mottled marks looked like a face that had been removed from makeup, showing traces of wrinkles.

"I heard my brother mention you, and I heard that you are quite talented in medicine." Mycroft stood up unhurriedly, just like his usual style, calmly, "In order to distinguish you from Leslie, I Can I just call you Larry?"

"Of course there is no problem. I have heard from my brother," she glanced at Leslie, "I have heard him talk about you. He has repeatedly praised your sharp brain and excellent observation skills, plus the way you get along with your brother. After that, I can also guess that your talent as an older brother must also be extraordinary."

Mycroft laughed out loud, with a hearty look.This is somewhat different from Cecily's imagination.

After that, Cecily nodded to Holmes and gave a cry, which was regarded as a courtesy.

After several people are seated, it's time to start talking about some men's topics.

Coinciding with the disbandment of the East India Company, politicians and businessmen always have a keen sense of smell, and there is an exchange of information between push and pull.Cecily has never been involved in history, politics, economy, etc. If it is mentioned about her, it is just a matter of tricks. If you process what you have heard and memorized, and add a sentence or two of your own opinions, it will appear to have something to say.It's just that such a trick is probably hard to hide from the eyes of the three geniuses present.

Leslie knew that my sister had a hard time dealing with such topics, but it was not easy to send her away. She regretted that she did not receive guests in the village in the country. Well, the home in London only has a small garden, even if you take a walk, it only takes a few minutes.Nor can it be said that Cecily is going to show people around the house.

But since Cecily chose to play this person for a long time, these things are unavoidable, how can there be less entertainment?

Leslie thought Cecily was doing pretty well.

It was also at this time that Cecily realized that Mr. Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock, was not only talented in cases and experiments, but also in political theory. Although he said little, everything made sense, and even her brother seemed to agree with it. .Cecily heard that her memory was not good enough, and she couldn't memorize these things immediately. After all, the Mr. Holmes she got from the book didn't seem to have shown any political talent. This was almost a new world.

At lunch, the topic became a little more relaxed, and turned to the length of the family.

"I heard that you seem to have the intention of associating with the Davis family?" Mycroft seemed to be careless.

Anyone who knew Mycroft knew that none of Mycroft's words was off the mark, and even if he suddenly said he wanted snuff and refused the cigarette, it must be for a reason and not just a whim.

—"On a whim" wasn't the right word for Mycroft.

Leslie's words were brewing in his mind for half a circle, and his tone was flat: "Their family has minerals in America, and they are eager to realize this."

"I know." Mycroft smiled slightly. "They're making a lot of noise."

It's really not suitable to talk any more.Leslie subconsciously glanced at Cecily, and was silent for a while: "I have seen the heir of the Davis family, young and..."

Mycroft put his index finger to his lips, signaling to stop the subject.

"He's not a good choice if you worry about the family."

This topic ends here.

Cecily hadn't felt it very deeply, and she didn't know what position Mycroft was in the government now, but she knew to some extent that Mycroft had a great influence on Leslie.Having said that, Cecily also knew that Leslie must put aside the idea of ​​making friends with the Davis family.

After lunch, Leslie casually found a reason to send Cecily to the study. Sherlock then said that he would go to the study after hearing that Leslie had bought a batch of lonely books, so as to give Leslie and Mycroft some space to read. Talk about their affairs in the reception room.

Cecily was quite used to being in the same room with Mr. Holmes, it could even be said to be quite natural.The two sat together peacefully for less than an hour before Mycroft came upstairs to look for Sherlock. The two left after saying goodbye-of course, Holmes made an appointment with Cecily to do the experiment later.

It wasn't until both of them left that Cecily felt relieved. Even though she wore a corset when she was dressed as a man, it wasn't as suffocating as it is at this moment. She seemed to be out of shape all day, a little uncomfortable. .

In fact, she was a little afraid—afraid that Mr. Mycroft or Sherlock Holmes would bring up the matter about the "sister" who proposed marriage rashly, and she was afraid that her behavior would not be normal.

Even as Cecily—a woman who could no longer interact with Mr. Holmes, Cecily didn't want to make any more bad impressions on Sherlock Holmes.

Leslie looked at his younger sister who was suddenly bereaved, and couldn't help sighing: "Tired?"

"It's a little bit. I always feel that Mr. Holmes will see through me." Cecily said honestly, and her voice returned to a girlish feeling, "But it should be okay, brother, what do you think of me?"

The tense face suddenly burst into a smile, and Leslie looked at his sister's delicate expression like a little girl at the moment, and couldn't ask if you regretted it, so he reached out and patted the girl's fake hair, Feeling that there was no real hair, he withdrew his hand with some disgust.

"If you continue to learn, then you have to face it many times," he sighed. "You, protect yourself outside—how about I arrange a bodyguard for you?"

"Brother!" Cecily took her brother's arm angrily and objected, "I don't want to be stared at all the time! Don't worry, I will send you a telegram if there is anything."

Leslie didn't answer, just thought to himself: Come on, I haven't seen your telegram for a semester.

He didn't know if it was good or not, but.

It won't be worse than before.

>>>>>>>>

Holmes was aware that Larry Sylvester at the Sylvesters' house had always seemed a little reserved, a little... unresponsive compared with the independent individuals at school.It's really unresponsive.

He couldn't help speculating why, maybe the relationship between the two brothers wasn't that good, or maybe his visit with Mycroft had put him under pressure.But no matter at the dinner table or anywhere, the relationship between the two brothers is quite natural.

He thought about this kind of thing and passed it. He always had a certain respect for his friend's life and didn't make random guesses. What's more, he didn't have any evidence in his hand to make him continue to reason.

He will exercise his brain by thinking about the little things in life, but he will not over-explore other people's lives, especially friends.

Fortunately, this did not hinder the relationship between them.

In the laboratory, in the classroom, Larry Sylvester is the same Larry Sylvester again. When doing experiments, she almost always operates with textbook-like precision, never negligent, which is great for her age. For humans, it is very rare.

But Sylvester looked a little dazed on this day.

Halfway through the experiment, Holmes finally asked.

"You don't look quite right today." He said tactfully.

Cecily froze for a moment, the dropper in her hand touched the wall of the test tube, and there was a crisp sound.

"It's actually not a big deal. After you and your brother left yesterday, Leslie and I mentioned something about the Davis family." Cecily smiled, "I always feel a little uneasy."

"I don't quite see what that has to do with you," said Holmes bluntly.

It had nothing to do with Larry Sylvester, but it had an effect on Cecily.Most immediately, Leslie seems to have kicked the Davis heir off Cecily's fiancé shortlist.

For Cecily, this is indeed a good thing, but she always feels that there will be some follow-up, just like Leslie's evaluation of the heir of the Davis family that day, he actually wanted to say "Young, persistent , and ambitious."After Leslie told Cecily, Cecily's feeling of uneasiness intensified.

"It has nothing to do with me." Cecily forced a smile, "It's just that I always have some bad premonitions, and I can't say anything."

Holmes pursed his lips, and put aside the test paper in his hand: "Generally speaking, after a certain amount of academic accumulation, there will be some seemingly unreasonable, but in fact, accumulated accumulations of a correct guiding direction. intuition."

"What do you mean?" Cecily was a little puzzled.

"Try to find a way to find out the source of my anxiety, medical student," he picked up the test paper with tweezers and put it on the evaporating dish again, "use your logical thinking."

Cecily nodded, and returned her attention to the reagent in her hand.

"Failed again, Holmes." She looked at the unresponsive liquid in her hand. "Perhaps we need some fresh serum samples."

"The serum sample is fresh. It's just that the reagent is still useless." Holmes was accustomed to this result. "Go on."

Cecily also realized that she was a little impetuous today, and after chewing her idol's words back and forth many times in her heart, she finally calmed down. At this moment, she found that Holmes seemed a little impetuous.

"So, after calling me, Holmes," Cecily's tone was teasing, "I think you also seem to have some troubles."

Holmes seemed to have thought it through, so he didn't hesitate to speak: "Actually, I'm not very interested in exploring other people's private thoughts, but since this person has something to do with me, I think maybe I should ask."

"Is this person related to me?" Cecily immediately realized that he might want to say something about 'Cecily'.

"I don't want to hide anything from you. As long as I remain friends with you, and my brother and Mr. Sylvester remain friends, there will be no less exchanges between the two sides," Holmes said in a gentle tone. To avoid embarrassment, what I heard from my brother was to tell me to keep as little contact with the Sylvesters as possible, since I personally don't want to establish a more... intimate relationship."

Cecily's heart: ...

If it's Larry Sylvester, you may not understand what it means at first glance.

The problem is that Cecily is the one, the one who needs Holmes to avoid embarrassment, to avoid intimacy, Cecily Sylvester.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Cecily's expression was calm, "A more intimate relationship? I'm curious about your definition of an intimate relationship."

Holmes gave a rare choke: "We are friends now."

Cecily's mind is running fast, how can she appear fresh and unaffected? ? ?He put the dropper in his hand aside and cleared his throat: "Let me clear my mind, then you mean, a closer relationship, closer than a friend, maybe I can boldly guess that there is something wrong with my distant cousin relation?"

"May I be curious what happened?"

Seeing Holmes's hesitant expression, Cecily also sighed inwardly.

Hey, she was too impulsive back then.

She thoughtfully said: "Since you find it difficult, you don't need to say it, so what do you want to ask me?"

The author has something to say: emmmmm

It is said that when Holmes goes to Cecily's house, he will find that his identity is temporarily given up.Um

Although Sherlock has not yet... but Mycroft... emmmm

There are so few comments.Why.Indifferent and coquettish, I will give you meow meow, okay?No comments, code words, no enthusiasm...
