Baker Street Charterers

When Nora came back, it was already pointing to [-]:[-]. Holmes and Watson were already ready, waiting for Miss Morstan to meet here.Hearing the sound of going up the stairs, Watson stood up eagerly, and when he saw Nora's head appeared, he sat back disappointed and sighed heavily.

—Nora felt an arrow in her knee.

Holmes looked her up and down in silence, his gaze paused for a moment on the muddy spots on her boots, then he retracted it, and said in a flat tone, "At the moment when she is about to go out to handle a case, Miss Nora Sharp still has the leisure Shopping with Miss Annwood?"

Watson's whole body was shocked, and he looked at Holmes' side face with pity, as if he had already seen the scene that he was about to be ridiculed to the point of blood.

——But the facts were unexpected. Nora just stood at the door, staring at him with a very weird, almost full of scrutiny, and a somewhat heavy gray expression. This posture lasted for nearly 2 minutes, and finally Under Watson's increasingly curious gaze, she paused and retracted. Her expression was so flat that it was hard to see the real emotion at this time from her facial expressions. Her voice was low and clear, "I'll go back to my room and change into plain clothes, wait a moment. "

"..." Watson was stunned, and suddenly turned his head to kick Holmes, "Please tell me honestly, Sherlock, what happened in the half hour before you came back?"

Holmes frowned anxiously. He put down the newspaper in his hand and folded it. Facing Watson's questioning, he was also a little uneasy and confused. "To be honest, Watson, this is what I have always wanted to know."

Watson sighed, "Sherlock, maybe you need to add such a class to your hall of knowledge: learning how to talk to women."

Holmes immediately retorted disdainfully, "My brain will never allow such boring and boring waste to take up a single bit of capacity." After a pause, he raised his eyebrows again, "What does this have to do with what we are talking about?"

Watson raised his forehead, "Seriously, Sherlock, if Nora really likes you, then you would probably be her No. 1 'most hated person in the world' by now."

Holmes was taken aback.

After a while, he said in a very dissatisfied and decisive tone, "Like it? - Oh Watson, you should understand, I believe Nora is also very clear - as a detective, the last thing you need is love. , we need a calm and thinking brain anytime and anywhere, of course I don't comment on your turbulent and inexplicable feelings towards Miss Mary Morstan, but Nora? No, no, no, if she has such useless feelings for me , then I think—"

thump—

A loud noise made Holmes stop abruptly.

Nora bent down to lift up the clothes hanger that hit her. She had already changed into light men's clothes, and her long bright crimson curly hair was tied back properly, looking shrewd and capable.At this moment, she patted the non-existent dust on her sleeves, looked over with a blank face, and apologized plainly, "Sorry, I'm ready, Watson, Mr. Holmes."

Watson showed a strange expression. He looked at Nora, then at Holmes, and finally sighed, "...you have brought it on yourself."

Holmes clasped his hands together, and expressed his composure as to whether Nora had heard his high-spirited words. He stared at Nora's face, as if he finally understood something. After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice, "Nora, if you Minding the impact of scandals in newspapers on your reputation..."

"Fame?" Nora smiled, seemingly surprised, "Mr. Holmes, as a detective, who only needs to think calmly and calmly at any time, reputation is useless to me, and I don't mind at all— —Of course, it is also necessary for me to clear up the rumors: I, a little man from the Liverpool countryside, do not have such turbulent and inexplicable useless feelings for Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who is well-known in London, intelligent and self-sufficient, And as the boss, you can rest assured of the credibility of the employees, and I will do a very competent job."

"..." Everyone present felt very puzzled by Nora's vivid quotations.

Watson looked left and right, "Ah...Maybe Miss Morstan has gone downstairs, I think we should go down and have a look."

Nora nodded, "I'll go down with you."

Watson glanced at Holmes in embarrassment, "Alright then—Sherlock, we'll wait for you downstairs."

Only then did Holmes come back to his senses. He nodded slowly and saw Nora turned and went downstairs without hesitation. He blinked and showed an unbelievable expression. He sat where he was for a long while before standing up and pacing. Go to the window and look down--

At dusk in the evening, the street looks long and quiet.Standing by the street lamp, Watson and Nora seem to be talking in a low voice. Watson has a reassuring and helpless expression on his face, while Nora has always looked extremely calm and smiling, only occasionally nodding his head and lowering his head. He replied a few words.

Holmes watched the scene downstairs without blinking. The atmosphere between the two was very harmonious and tacit, as if he was no longer the protagonist of this trip, but Nora Sharp, she was not just his partner.

Nor does she just have a wealthy boss as a subordinate.

Holmes touched his chin subconsciously, thinking.

I have to say that as a female companion, Nora's performance is not only remarkable, she is the rare partner that Holmes has encountered recently, who can not produce both tacit behavior and exchange of ideas. She has a good temper There is no shortage of proud edges and corners, and even the daily ridicule and ridicule of each other has become one of the joys of adjusting life. Of course, the point is that she is so far the only one who has been with him for nearly a year and still stays by his side female.

Sherlock Holmes has many enemies and few friends, and only Watson and Nora can investigate cases with him. Although Nora is female, her daily behavior makes it difficult to equate her with a lady So much so that Sherlock Holmes, who has always understood that he will not get along with ladies at all, unconsciously reveals his arrogant and mean side, and finally successfully, with difficulty, arouses the deepest temper hidden in the other party.

To this day, I still don’t understand which sentence I said that turned the good-tempered Nora from "Charlie" into the great detective of "Mr. Holmes". In the end, I decided that since it belongs to the lady's concern, it is undoubtedly the best to start with the lady. choose.

A very clear message immediately emerged in his sensitive mind: Apollinai Clothing Store, No. 23 East Regent Street, legal owner: Amanda Annwood.
