[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Mary

In teaching Catherine to use a typewriter, Mary's intention is simple.

The person who bursts out with negative emotions first, while self-mediating, it is best to improve the surrounding environment.Mary couldn't help Catherine untangle herself, but she could give Catherine something to do.Studying is the best way to divert attention. I am busy memorizing the keys of the typewriter, using the machine proficiently, and improving the recording speed, which is enough for the fourth lady of the Bennet family to be busy.

Secondly, Catherine likes to read.And novels are always closely related to text, and the appearance of typewriters has greatly improved the speed of text entry, so there is no harm in learning this - if she has this intention, she can also get a relevant certificate and apply for a job in a magazine or publisher Wouldn't it be just right to be a secretary assistant or a stenographer; if there is no such intention, Mary can understand.The daughter of a squire should marry a good family. This is the education we have received since childhood. Mary herself does not want to be a full-time wife, but she will never comment on her sister's choice.

Even if she is a full-time wife, it may not be useless. Mary sees that her sisters have their own filters, and all of them are very good.If Catherine meets a handsome and affectionate best-selling author, she can still be his right-hand man. Isn't this also a good story about harmony.

When Catherine heard Mary's proposal, she naturally happily agreed to her, wiped away her tears, and dissipated all the bleak and sad breath on her body.Because there are a lot of things to be busy before Christmas, Mary first traced a blueprint of the printer's keys, and asked Catherine to practice with the blueprint first.

Then came Mary's "A Christmas Carol" project.

Irene's waiting finally came to fruition. The pharmacist she knew improved the formula containing devil's heel—although psychotropic drugs still cannot be said to be 100% free of side effects, they are still better than the by-products previously studied by the Illuminati many.Ms. Irene Adler generously copied Mary a copy of the prescription and told her to show it to Clutcher.

After the housekeeper Clutcher got the prescription, he compared it with the medicine Scrooge usually took, and found that except for the devil's heel and the stabilizer, the formula was similar to the medicine Scrooge took.

Therefore, he agreed to Mary's request to change her dressing secretly.

Fred had seen Scrooge's dead partner, so Mary asked Fred to act as the partner's soul who had returned from hell, and she asked Wiggins and two other smart and bold street boys to wear white cloth and hold Light up candles and act as "spiritual bodies" that symbolize the past, present and future.

It is nothing more than a copy of the original plot of "A Christmas Carol" - under the influence of the devil's heels, the pictures seen will become illusory and "real", and the sounds heard will be branded into cognition through other senses.Mary doesn't intend to let Wiggins and the others exhort Scrooge to do good deeds, but just hopes to use their tone to remind Scrooge of the joy of childhood, the help he received during struggle, and if he doesn't let go of his heart and hate everyone around him , he will die miserably like his partner, tortured in hell.

After returning to Irene, Mary proudly announced the plan to her friends.

After receiving the prescription, it was almost Christmas again. Irene kindly invited several female friends she met in London to visit her home. Besides Mary, there was also Miss Morstan, who had just moved out of the Whitechapel neighborhood.

"Anyway, there is a prescription," she vowed. "Even if Scrooge hadn't recalled the good things in the past, he wouldn't have found the flaw."

"Don't you believe in ghosts and gods?" Irene said in surprise, "but you still act in the name of God?"

Cletchet also said something similar, and Mary laughed out loud: "If I believe in ghosts and gods, how dare I pretend to be ghosts in the name of God?"

Irene was startled, and then figured it out: "That's true."

Mary knew what she meant—there was an unbridgeable gulf between people of faith and atheists, often with mutual disdain.Using the power of "God" to "influence" a person is indeed not the style of an atheist.

But Mary feels that different religions in various countries have existed for so long, and they are still the spiritual and moral pillars of a considerable number of people until the 21st century, which also has profound meanings.Especially in the nineteenth century, in the Victorian era, this period of productivity leaps and bounds.

So Mary thought it would be all right to make a little use of religion.Although no matter how you think about it, she doesn't respect the gods, but she is doing good deeds. Even if Mary is wrong, God really exists, and according to the world's praises, he will forgive herself.

"Let's not talk about it," so Mary planned this prank quite confidently, "whether it turns out good or bad, Fred will come and let me know. My concern now is that there was a beautiful lady who moved out of the slums first. Postponed Watson's proposal, and now she has found a new home."

Miss Morstan: "..."

Knowing that she would not let her go, Miss Morstan couldn't laugh or cry.

That is, Catherine and Lydia rushed to the Gardners' house early to accompany their parents, so Mary dared to tease.Otherwise, it would be too miserable for Catherine to open the wound just after she regained her composure.

"I've moved house and have to find a job," Miss Morstan said. "I've been so busy recently that I haven't thought about it at all, and I don't have time to see the doctor."

"According to your ability, it's not easy to find a job?" Mary laughed.

It's not that she trusts her friends blindly.Even Sherlock Holmes respects Miss Morstan's character and methods. An Irish illegitimate daughter who should be at the bottom of society in the past, not only did not live long enough, but she knew a few people in the streets and alleys, the white and the underworld, which is enough to prove her intelligence and ability. mind.

Even Mary, with the knowledge of the 21st century, doesn't think she can do it.

So while other female workers might be knocked out of their heads by a sudden fortune of a thousand pounds, Miss Morstan would definitely not.Her best friends passed away one after another, and there were not many things she was particularly fond of in the Whitechapel neighborhood. After moving out of the slums, Miss Morstan resigned from the factory and planned to change to a job that a "single lady" should have.

Upon hearing this, Irene asked with concern, "Do you have any intentions?"

Miss Morstan nodded: "I'm thinking of going to help someone look after the store, or find a rich family to be a housekeeper."

Mary: "It's good to be a housekeeper."

Miss Mary Morstan in the original book is the butler of a respectable family.The butlers and maids of rich people are different from the handy maids hired when renting an apartment like Mary.The more noble the family, the more emphasis was placed on the origin of the hired servants, and the butler was the superior of the maids. He had to have a certain management ability while being born innocent.

"It's not that easy," said Miss Morstan calmly. "For one thing, my parents aren't married, and I'm Irish; for two, I don't have any connections to know any big families."

Irene frowned: "Isn't the person sitting in front of you a network?"

Miss Morstan: "How can I take advantage of—"

"What is utilization?"

Irene gently interrupted Miss Morstan: "You are afraid of getting something for nothing, I understand. But how can you and I use it, Miss Morstan? If you want to use it, I used you and Mary to get it first." The prescription, now you can use it back, isn't it a matter of course."

The singer from Paris can always use the most thoughtful words to silence people's rebuttals.Speaking of this, Miss Morstan relaxed: "In that case, I will trouble you."

"Don't worry, there will always be a gentleman with an angelic heart and his wife who will sympathize with your experience and respect Major Morstan's integrity," Irene promised, "It can be regarded as the last thing I do for you before I leave. "

It's okay not to mention this issue, but when it is mentioned, Mary suddenly feels sad.

"Do you have to leave immediately," Mary muttered, "After Christmas is New Years, it's not too late to leave after New Years."

"I know you are reluctant," Irene comforted, "but in Paris, there is someone who is even more reluctant."

Ok.

Originally, Irene came to London to get the prescription, and now she has got it, and the prescription has been effectively improved, and the goal has been achieved, so naturally she won't stay here for a long time.

"Merry Christmas," Irene said to Mary with a smile. "You and Miss Morstan must have a good Christmas and New Year."

"Naturally, we will." Mary said firmly.

What better way to celebrate a just-closed case than a happy Christmas?Mary knew that not only would she, but her family would too, Sherlock would, Miss Morstan and Watson would too.

Even waking up from a dream, Scrooge and his nephew Fred, who never celebrated Christmas.

"I will keep in touch with you," Irene said, seeing Mary's reluctance. "If you have a chance, you can come to Paris."

"It's not that there is a chance, but I will definitely go."

"Hey?"

Mary pursed her lips: "I told you before, Irene, but I haven't mentioned it again because of the case of the four signatures. After Christmas, I believe Sherlock will definitely mention it——Morrie Artie is in Paris."

"..."

Irene showed a dazed look, but thinking about this, she suddenly realized: "You want to go with Mr. Holmes?"

"Do not."

Seeing that Sherlock intends to settle the Moriarty matter as soon as possible, unless they get married tomorrow, it is really unreasonable for single women and single men to go together.

"I need you to invite me," said Mary. "When the time comes, the famous soprano of the Paris Opera House invited some unmarried ladies of the Bennet family to visit. It is such a decent thing that my mother will not disagree."

"But I think," Irene frowned slightly, "Mr. Holmes would not choose you as his assistant instead of Hua..."

Erin paused and understood everything.

If he wanted to challenge Moriarty, he didn't know how long he would have to stay in Paris once the case came out.Seeing that Dr. Watson is about to marry Miss Morstan, if Holmes is in a hurry to investigate the case, the newlywed doctor must start working immediately.

He didn't care, but Dr. Watson did.

Thinking of this, Erin couldn't help but laugh.

"Well," she said expectantly, "Mary, I'll wait for you in Paris."

The author has something to say: Irene: Mary, I am waiting for you in Paris.

Mary: Mmm!

Miss Morstan: ? ? ?I suddenly feel that Lao Fu is a bit redundant?
