After returning from the factory area to Minsk Street, Klein simply used lunch, fell to sleep, and slept until the sky darkened. When the evening came, he naturally woke up.
Even so, he still feels tired and feels tired from the heart.
After a while, Klein went down to the first floor, lit the gas lamp, prepared to sit on the sofa, read today's newspaper, but his eyes swept, but saw an invitation on the coffee table.
He first glimpsed and immediately woke up. This was a dinner invitation from the wife of Mrs. Stalin Somer, who sent her maid to the door a few days ago.
"Almost forgot this thing... disguised blind date party..." Klein put down the invitation, went to the bathroom on the first floor, cleaned the lower face with cold water, and made himself look a lot more spiritual.
Compared with the time when he arrived at Beckland, he had thicker black whiskers around his lips and his lower jaw. Although he did not completely eliminate his own book temperament, he made him mature and rough. some.
Not a real acquaintance, I can't recognize me in person... Klein breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her face clean, and put the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose.
He took a break and put on a tight-fitting shirt with a neckline, a black tuxedo, and then officially wore a half-high silk hat, a cane and an invitation, and went out to the next door.
In the ringing bell of the Dangdang, he saw Julian, the maid who opened the door, and saw Starlin, who had a high-profile blonde hair and a silver jewelry on his earlobe.
Klein took off his hat and took a tribute, politely praised:
"Mrs. Summer, you are very beautiful today."
Although his sentence has a strong perfunctory nature, today's Stalin is indeed much more beautiful than usual. In the field of dressing up her, her ability seems to have achieved a breakthrough growth.
It seems that it is a matter of rape, so that she and Mrs. Mary have truly become "friends", and the other is a rich man with tens of thousands of pounds. Now he has entered the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee and got to know a lot of dignitaries, in makeup and clothing. , jewelry and other aspects must have enough insights... Klein has nostalgic in his heart.
Starling’s mouth is hard to contain:
"This is my new earring, I need a full 8 Sule."
Ms., your style hasn't changed... Klein smiled and handed the hat, cane and coat to the maid.
The fireplace and pipes in the house bring warmth to the feeling of early summer. Many ladies and ladies' dresses are relatively less strict, some reveal a half-baked arm, and some have a smooth and smooth chest.
"Luke is talking business with a few friends, let me say sorry to you on his behalf." Starling did the job of the hostess. "You will eat first. I will wait to introduce you to some good ladies." ""
Actually, it’s not necessary. Let me eat quietly... Klein smiled and said:
"I have smelled the smell of food."
Because there were more guests, more than 20, the dinner was in the form of self-help. Klein took the plate and took a turn and found that the food was a lot more than before:
Cold squid, chicken pie, pea stewed lamb, salted breast, curry food, roast beef, cooked turkey, beef tongue pie, ham, salad and cream cake...
The wine is still champagne and red wine.
This is in line with the appetite of carnivores. Kline smashed a large plate and didn't go looking for someone to chat, shrink into the corner, and taste it slowly.
"There is no chef at the Cragg Club doing well..." He made comments from time to time.
When he was ready to take the second round, he was finally discovered by Starling Summer.
At the same time, he was next to the wife and saw an acquaintance, serious lawyer Yurgen.
Also, Jürgen is also a bachelor... Klein smiled and scraped together, greeted:
"How is Mrs. Doris recovering?"
Jurgen didn't feel too comfortable to tie the knot:
"She will be discharged next week."
"This is great," Klein said with sincerity.
At this time, Starling has brought a few ladies to come over and introduce them:
"This is Mr. Jurgen Cooper, a senior attorney who pays at least £3 a week. He often has a case, his annual income must exceed 200 pounds, and he is young and promising. May become a barrister."
"This is Mr. Sherlock Moriatti, a well-known detective. His income is not stable, but every one is very rich, such as 10 pounds, 50 pounds."
Ms., this introduction is too direct... Kline couldn’t help but swear.
And Jürgen next to him apparently frowned.
Starling did not feel that there was any problem and continued to introduce:
"Miss Sarah Taylor, her parents are faculty members of the grammar school..."
"Angina Watson, her father is a civilian in the Beckland Police Department..."
......
Klein smiled numbly and said hello to the lady.
When Stalin finished, Jurgen said with a deep voice:
"Mrs. Summer, it’s not a polite thing to mention someone else’s income in person."
Starling was not angry and responded very seriously:
"No, this is very important."
“If you can like each other and build a family, income is an essential foundation.”
"Do you think that there are always meat, vegetables, fruits, milk, white bread, butter, butter and other foods every day? At least 1 pound 5 sul is spent on this every week. This is not counting wine. In addition, I have to rent a good house, and I have to pay nearly 1 pound per week. Well, I have to buy water, gas, charcoal, soap, etc. I have to consider the cost of travel, which adds up to 10 Sule."
"This is the most basic cost. Don't you take your lady to the concert and watch the drama?"
“Don't you add some new clothes every year? Miss, I think a family must spend at least 30 pounds a year on it to be decent.”
“In addition to this, there are salaries for the maid, the cost of education for the children, the medical expenses for the preparation, and the expenditure of some necessary decorations.”
"Only if the annual income exceeds 200 pounds, we can meet these needs and have a happy family."
"So, in order not to delay your time and not cause misunderstanding, I think it is necessary to introduce it in advance."
As a lawyer, Jurgen couldn't find a language rebuttal for a while, but fortunately he only had serious and serious expressions.
It’s frank... but the basic etiquette is to tell the two sides this kind of information in private. Of course, I understand the reason why Mrs. Summer is your face to face... Klein has a smile:
“Yes, income is very important.”
"Only when the annual income exceeds 400 pounds, can we hold this level of dinner, so that our wife can have beautiful dresses and beautiful earrings."
Starling suddenly lifted his chin and tried to suppress the smile:
"430 pounds, I mean, there is still some savings every year, to guard against accidents or to invest in stock bonds."
This is her husband's approximate annual income.
After helping the strangers find the topic, she left here and greeted other guests, and Klein clearly noticed that Sarah, Angela and other ladies were more interested in Mr. Ergen, after all, the other party was not bad, the work and income were very stable.
As for the private detectives who may enter the police station at any time, it is not the priority of the middle class women, and Klein is now a beard, slightly rough, girls are inevitably a little afraid.
After chatting with him for a few words, he found an excuse to leave, hiding in the corner, eating while enjoying the helpless performance of Jurgen.
At this time, his eloquence as a lawyer did not know where to go.
After a few minutes, the two children of the Summerer’s family ran across Klein.
They noticed the gentleman hiding in the corner, stopped, stared at the big eyes, curiously asked:
"Mr. Moriarty, I heard that you are a detective?"
"Yes." Kline smiled and responded.
The little girl said innocently:
“Can you tell us about your broken case?”
Her twin brother nodded again and again.
My broken case? It’s not about resentment, secrets, devils, or finding cats. It’s really not suitable for children to listen to... Klein thought for a few seconds, hehe smiled:
"Okay, this is a story about treasure."
"A military officer who retired from East Byron was suddenly murdered..."
The detective novels he had seen in his life were actually almost forgotten. They could only be fabricated according to the vague impressions, and the two children did not care about the unreasonable circumstances. They listened quite seriously and even learned to ask "".
Unconsciously, Klein relaxed a lot.
By the end of the dinner, he was about to leave, but saw that Starling's face was full of joy.
“What happened to be celebrated?” Klein asked casually.
Starling raised her head and smiled and replied:
"Mary was invited by Mr. Hibbert Hall, the chief secretary of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, to go to his home for a luncheon on Monday."
"This gentleman is the eldest son of Earl Hall, the real aristocrat. He invited all members of the committee and allowed them to bring two or three friends."
Starling paused:
"Mary just invited me and Luke."
............
Monday noon.
Dressed up by Starbucks Summer, accompanied by her husband Luke Samuel, she followed Mrs. Mary and came to Queens to see a vast building.
Marble statues, pools, fountains, gardens, lawns and other things were reflected in her eyes, so that she had not entered the villa, she felt nervous.
"Luke, isn't this necklace and skirt my home?" She asked her husband sideways.
Luke shook his head and smiled:
"Dear, you are too nervous."
"You don't need to worry at all, the nobles are living a little bigger than us, eating better, we are not bad."
Starling nodded in a row and seemed to have recovered her confidence.
Entering the villa, they saw the gorgeous crystal chandeliers, saw the hall where many people could dance, and saw a plate of food.
Foie gras, fried keel fish, lobster lobster... Olmir wine, misty champagne... Same as the magazine description... Starling curiously looks at the food, feels that it is a province, and can also be at the festival or In the New Year, come on such a meal.
In addition to the Ormill red wine and the misty champagne... she finally added a sentence in her heart.
At this moment, her eyes suddenly straightened, and a girl wearing a beige dress was slowly coming.
The girl is blond, beautiful, wearing a pair of white silk gloves, with a pair of small and beautiful emerald earrings, pure and elegant.
It’s like an angel... Even if I’ve always been proud of my own looks, Starling couldn’t help but admire it, inexplicably inferior.
"Hello." She awkwardly greeted the etiquette she had just learned.
"Hello." The girl gracefully returned.
After the two passed by, Starling accompanied her husband and Mary to meet a distinguished guest and met the noble Mr. Hibbert Hall.
After a while, she walked up to the balcony alone, intending to ease the mood, but unexpectedly saw the angelic girl just now.
She was looking out at the scenery, and a golden-haired dog was clinging to the shoes with ribbons and roses.
"It's so cute." Starling looked for the topic.
The girl smiled and said:
"I thank you for your praise."
Looking at the combination of beautiful girls and Golden Retriever dogs, Starling suddenly felt that she should also raise similar pets.
This will show the decent of the Summerer family! She asked at the discretion:
"I heard that the nobles will domesticate many hounds, is it?"
"Yes." The girl, who is more charming than the earrings, is lightly nodding.
"I don't know how many gold pounds to buy one?" Starling asked with a smile.
The pure and elegant girl looked down at the Golden Retriever dog and smiled and replied in disappointment:
"450 pounds."
PS: Because I have to go to the meeting again, there are no three more tomorrows. I can only update and maintain my life in advance. Well, the morning will be updated in advance. After the 25th, after the end of this month, there will be more.
