Herman said, within two minutes, the carriage heard it, and the coachman said respectfully:
"Gentlemen, Mrs. Helena's boutique garment store is here..."
Herman pulled Pierre's clone and said:
"Walk!"
The two got off the car and paid the fare, and saw a relatively quiet street in front of them. Although it was after get off work hours after evening, the kerosene street lights were on, and the pedestrians were leisurely and they were dressed brightly.
It feels like a clone of Pierre, like returning to a neighborhood like Winsley Street on the Clinton District of Sandsport, where middle-class people gather.
"What are we?"
Before Pierre's clone could understand, she was pulled into the garment store by Hermann.
"The task later is to enter a high-end cocktail party, and we also need a decent outfit. It is impossible to buy it, but it is still OK to rent a set. Of course, it would be better if my old friend of the owner gave it to us for free.
But…”
When Pierre's clone heard this, he could only complain about the stingy detective's stingy behavior in his heart.
As soon as you enter the store and look at the displays inside, you will give people a sense of the elegance and magnificence of the 18th century. Perhaps it is not luxurious, but it definitely has a high-quality temperament.
Obviously, the owner of this store is also extraordinary.
jingle!
Hermann directly rang the copper table bell on the counter.
"Please wait..."
A woman's shout came from inside.
Not long after, a lady dressed in a luxurious outfit, although her face was not beautiful, she was over 80 years old. Especially, her temperament was particularly elegant. Although she was beautiful, she was not the kind of vulgar and sexy seduce. Instead,
It has a comfortable feeling that makes people feel happy and physically.
"Herman is you..."
"Haha, my beautiful Helena, you are more beautiful every time you meet. How should I rest my heart?"
The woman named Helena snorted and said:
"Hmph, men are all fickle guys. Do Samantha know that you flirt with me like this?"
Herman coughed a little awkwardly.
"You know, Samantha and I are like brother and sister..."
Facing Hermann's slightly pale explanation, Mrs. Helena rolled her eyes in a charming manner.
"Come on, I don't want to get involved in the matter between you. What do you come to me for? I know you never come to me if you have nothing to do..."
Herman said with a shameless face:
"Of course I'm here to visit you, but I'm going to take my assistant to a salon tonight, so I can only rely on Helena, who has an unparalleled fashionable vision, to help..."
"I think you are reluctant to spend money. You want to find free clothes for me, right?"
Mrs. Helena knows Herman, a usually stingy financial detective, and tells the truth in one sentence.
Hermann had a short mouth, so of course he had to smile with his face, so that even Pierre's clone next to him could not see it.
"Mr. Hermann, if it's inconvenient for you, I can pay for two dresses."
Hermann immediately glared at him. Although he was stingy, he still had a bottom line. Can he still take advantage of his assistant when he came out to handle the case?
So he was forced to the corner of the wall and could only say to the female shop owner who was covering her mouth with a funny face:
"Okay, Helena, you won. I want to rent two men's dresses, but you'll have to be cheaper for the rent, because of our years of friendship."
Mrs. Helena had a very good attitude towards Pierre, the young and handsome assistant, and said with a smile:
"Young people are much more generous than your detective master. The first time I come to my store, I will rent you a set of dresses for free."
Hermann immediately asked, "What about me?"
"you?"
Mrs. Helena said unhappily:
"It would be nice if you don't ask for a high price. Tell me how many dresses you broke me?"
Detective Hermann stopped talking. After all, he had a criminal record here, so it would be great if Helena, his old friend, caught the handle.
You should know that the price of men's formal dresses is not lower than that of ordinary women's dresses. A set of dresses above the standard costs about ten gold pounds. If you include canes, cufflinks and other decorations, then a dozen gold pounds are nothing.
The luxurious dresses customized by nobles and senior officials are even more unbearable to hundreds of gold pounds.
When Mrs. Helena brought two maids to measure the size of Pierre's clone, Hermann watched with envy.
Because Mrs. Helena has long had his size in the garment store, and his figure has been maintained over the years, he can't feel the happiness of Helena and the two maids stroking their delicate little hands.
Although Pierre's clone is not as scattered and romantic as before, he is still not as steady as his original body after being influenced by his substitute personality. Facing Mrs. Helena's intentional or unintentional teasing, he doesn't care that Herman will be jealous.
It is to enjoy the flirting of such a beautiful opposite sex.
In his opinion, a beauty who coexists with elegance and beauty. Such a woman, if she is placed in a royal country, would definitely be a guest of honor for the princes and nobles, and even the king would fall under her skirt.
As can be seen from the other party's dress and the name of the store, Mrs. Helena is the real lady, not the one used by married and unmarried women to call her lady.
However, from the fact that the other party can open a ready-to-wear store in Franklin with peace of mind and it seems that the business is very good, it can be seen that Mrs. Helena has a very special background.
This is not the modern society of the previous life, and women can also start a business at will. In the main world of the 1850s, although there is no inequality between women with high status and men, ordinary women should not talk about starting a business, but they are just the choice to work.
There are very few, either maids, ladies, or tutors.
It can be said that common professions such as shop owners, managers, secretaries, assistants, etc. are all men's world in this era.
The profession of a woman with the highest ceiling is a palace female official. This is not something that ordinary people can take on, but at least it is only women from aristocratic families.
During the conversation between the three, Pierre's clone roughly learned about the relationship between Hermann and Helena, including the old girl Ms. Samantha Gray. The three of them should be the kind of messy ones that cannot be cut.
Relationship is a childhood sweetheart growing up together, friendship and love are mixed, Herman has both admiration for both women, and is obviously more inclined toward Helena, but he is indecisive in terms of feelings, but he doesn't know how to choose until he has already arrived.
Middle-aged, I still couldn't make a choice between two women.
Helena once married a foreign noble in anger because of this, which made Herman quite sad. She was ambiguous with Ms. Gray, and she also hoped that Helena could change her mind.
As a result, a few years later, Helena's husband died young and returned to the Federation with his wealthy family property. The three of them returned to their triangular state when they were young. Hermann was embarrassed, but he also broke his sense of peace.
To put it bluntly, such a man values feelings, but to put it in a bad way, he is still a scumbag!
Pierre's clone spitted the middle-aged scumbag in his heart, but he still envied such a relationship.
