Baker Street Check-In Record [Sherlock Holmes]

There are many things locked in Holmes' drawer, such as pipes, guns, bullets, and spare clips. Looking inside, you can see a lot of letters, most of which are from Sylvester, and others are from some Client of a case that impresses him.

It didn't take him much effort to find what he was looking for.

A piece of crumpled paper, an old-fashioned brass key, a wooden peg with a ball of thread all over it, and three rusted metal discs.

In fact, it was just something he kept as a souvenir, but in a sense, it was also his beginning, the beginning of his determination to become a consulting detective.

He took everything out, looking for a small box to put it in, or maybe he could enclose a letter, and before he closed the drawer, he saw the pipe again.

This pipe is not so much for use as it is an exquisite work of art. The meerschaum pipe from Germany is expensive in material and the art of carving is amazing. There is a pirate carved on it with a mask One eye, lifelike.

Sherlock Holmes liked it very much when he got it. In fact, he wanted to be a pirate when he was young. I don’t know whether Sylvester met it by chance or learned it from his brother. He likes it very much.

The meerschaum is exquisite and fragile. He would take out this exquisite pipe only after he was lost in thought. He would sit on his seat and smoke one puff at a time. As for the usual, he still uses a newly bought wooden pipe , as for the original one.His friend probably forgot to return it, and he was happy not to mention it.

He was holding a pipe, rubbing his hand lightly on the edge of the amber stone mouthpiece.

I see, his name is actually engraved on it, and it is his handwriting. This is probably the roughest part of the whole pipe, and it is also his favorite part. He can tell that it is definitely not from the hands of a professional craftsman, but His friend carved it himself.

It's really wronged her to use a pair of surgeon's hands to do this.

But he was in a very good mood.

Looking back at the gift he was going to give her again, he suddenly felt that he couldn't get it out, maybe he should prepare something else.

Of course, the 25th birthday had to go home. Before going home, Cecily sent the box of pens back to Holmes, and then resumed her life as a girl for a few days.

To be honest, she really doesn't like wearing this dress, although it's true, it's pretty.

Cecily doesn't like corsets when she wears women's clothes. Her brother doesn't care about her anyway, and no one will say anything. The hip pads are enough to make people uncomfortable, and the proportions are probably enough. I am satisfied with my figure, but it is inconvenient to dress up as a man, and no one cares anyway.

This time Leslie didn't slip away, but stayed at home. As the head of the family, Cecily's birthday party can't be absent, but if Cecily mentioned the girl who hugged him, Leslie would never speak up. That's it.Cecily simply stopped asking, anyway, she would know when the time came.

A lot of socialites came to the birthday party, and some people wanted to get an idea of ​​Cecily, but Cecily was weak and weak, staying far away from the crowd, and even if she spoke occasionally, she would simply say The last one or two sentences confirmed the rumors that she was in poor health.Browns was also in place for such an occasion, but only one Mr. Browns came, and the successor Patriarch had no intention of coming, so he only asked Mr. Browns Jr. to bring a message.

To be honest, Cecily hadn't met Brown's family yet.

Leslie's good friend, Big Holmes, hadn't come, and although Leslie had sent an invitation, it was clear that Mycroft had no interest in such an occasion, and birthdays meant nothing to him.

For Cecily, this kind of time spent as a vase is much more uncomfortable than sitting in an outpatient clinic. She has to carefully adjust the width of her smile, pay attention to the correct position of her hands at all times, and if there is a male companion, the distance should be No matter how close or how far away, you should speak softly, and never forget that you are a girl.

This word seems to be a long time away from her, and she is even used to speaking with a low male voice.

After dinner was over and everyone was sent off, only Browns was left.

"You are as beautiful as I imagined you to be, Sylvester," he said softly. "I haven't officially wished you a happy birthday yet."

Cecily tugged the hem of the skirt lightly, lowered her head slightly: "Thank you."

The two were in front of the hall, looking at each other silently.

"Today doesn't seem like the right time, I don't know if you are free next weekend," Browns took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "I think, no matter what, I should have someone with you Opportunity to talk."

Cecily looked up at him in surprise, but he was still watching her tenderly.

"On Sunday, yes."

"Can I wish you were the same as you are today?" He laughed softly, in a voice as comfortable as lying in a velvet bed, "I mean, I wish I was dating Cecily Silvers special."

Leslie figured it was time and came out too.

"Browns, thank you for coming to my sister's birthday party," Leslie interrupted calmly, noticing the unusual atmosphere between Cecily and Browns, "I hope our cooperation will be very pleasant in the future .”

Browns put away those little thoughts and the ambiguity in his smile.

"Good cooperation." He looked away from Cecily's face and turned to Leslie.

Before getting into the carriage, he glanced back at the girl standing there for the last time.

I have to say that blue is a very suitable color for her. It reminds him of the first time we met, by the lake in Green, the sky is blue, and the lake is also blue. She has this pleasant feeling on her body. breath.

Like Green's Lake.

Leslie and Cecily stood together and watched Browns leave. After he left, Leslie patted his sister's arm lightly.

"What did we talk about?"

"He said he wanted to see me, this Sunday," Cecily told Leslie almost without hesitation, she would not hide him about this kind of thing, "it was Cecily who he said he wanted to see, he probably didn't want to be with someone A doctor's appointment."

Leslie raised his eyebrows. He guessed that it was time for a showdown.The Browns' attitude towards their family was now very ambiguous, and he probably knew, having scooped up information from Mycroft (and thinned his wallet a bit).

"Go, you come back on Saturday night, just start from home." Leslie patted his sister on the shoulder, and walked into the house with her arms weakly.

"Well, so brother, you still don't plan to tell me everything about that lady that day?" Cecily looked at her brother narrowly.

Leslie: "So I'm going to ask you, what did you do with that pipe you found?"

"My gosh, how long has that been?"

"I want to ask you too!"

Cecily returned to the hospital the afternoon after the birthday party, and it was at this time that she received a gift from him.

A long manuscript, and some strange little thing like a key-plate, and a letter and four flowers.

[My friend Sylvester,

happy Birthday.

The attached letter is about the whole story of the Musgrave Rites case. I remember that I mentioned to you in the letter the connection between this case and my detective career, and you also expressed great interest.It's a pity that I forget to talk about this case with you every time we meet.In your words, a birthday is a new beginning. I sorted out the records related to this case and gave you this case that marked my beginning in a sense as a gift. I wish you a good start too.

By the way, I received that box of pens. I never thought that I lost so many pens, and I could find them back. Thank you.

In addition, sending flowers was suggested by Dr. Watson. He told me that the meaning of sending these four flowers together is perfect kindness, excellent quality and intimacy.I think it fits very well with you, and I hope you like it.

Sincerely, Holmes. ]

Flowers are bluebell orchids, tulips, strawberries and mignonette.

Cecily didn't know the language of flowers very well, and felt that it was almost too rare for Holmes to send flowers.Fortunately, it was sent by someone instead of him himself, otherwise she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to hold back the inexplicable hot face and smirk now.

Looking at the four flowers, Cecily's mood seemed to be floating among the clouds.

Perfect kindness, superb quality and intimacy.

It feels like being issued a card.

She put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, the flowers still have a sweet fragrance.In fact, she didn't really understand why lovers should send flowers, but she seemed to be inspired at this moment, and her mood improved with the scent of flowers.

Holmes, like her, is not a person who can read the handbook of flowers. Watson does not avoid anything when sending flowers, so he did not tell Holmes that the full meaning of this bouquet is: "You are perfectly kind, wonderful The quality, and the intimacy, made me feel compelled to express my heart."

She realized that her mind was running away in an ambiguous direction, and only then did she remember to suppress her sudden thoughts.

Holmes has already explained the meaning of the flowers, so don't have extra thoughts.

she warned herself.

The mood was a little less bright, and Cecily had to divert her attention.

She seldom took the initiative to send letters to Holmes. Although it was a birthday gift, since the other party sent a gift, she still wanted to return it.

After thinking for a moment, she took down the notes from her bookshelf, thinking that maybe Holmes would like this gift.

This is an anatomy note, and unlike ordinary anatomy notes, it records the characteristics of some wounds and lesions after death, which is very close to forensic notes, and this is when Cecily is free. It came out of a visit to the morgue, and there are some notes of her own that she can't remember where she took them from, but since she dared to write on them, there should be nothing wrong with them.

Maybe she should have given it to him a long time ago, but she just keeps forgetting, or maybe she has been waiting for a suitable opportunity.

He will love it.

The author has something to say: Guess what Browns wants the heroine to do!

By the way, is this birthday gift sweet or not!I almost racked my brains to come up with such a memorable (albeit poor looking) birthday present!

Sending you my start and wishing you a wonderful birthday.
