Jurgen tugged at the bow tie uncomfortably and said, "She will be discharged from the hospital next week."

"This is really great." Klein said with emotion sincerely.

At this time, Starling had already attracted several ladies over, and introduced them: "This is Mr. Jurgen Cooper, a senior solicitor, with a salary of at least 3 pounds a week, and there are often commissions for cases. , his annual income must be more than 200 pounds, and he is young and promising, and he is likely to become a barrister in the future."

"This is Mr. Sherlock Moriarty, a well-known detective. His income is not stable, but each sum is very generous, such as 10 pounds, 50 pounds."

Ma'am, this introduction is too straightforward... Klein couldn't help but slander.

And Jurgen next to him frowned visibly.

Starling didn't think there was any problem at all and continued to introduce: "Miss Sarah Taylor, her parents are both grammar school teachers..."

"Angelina Watson, her father is a civilian employee of the Backlund Police Department..."

...

Klein smiled numbly and greeted the ladies.

After Starling finished speaking, Jurgen said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Summer, it's not polite to mention other people's income in person."

Starling was not angry, and responded very seriously: "No, this is very important."

"If you're going to like each other and start a family, income is an essential foundation."

"Think about it, there must be meat, vegetables, fruits, milk, white bread, cream, butter and other food every day, right? At least 1 pound 5 soli is spent on this every week, and this does not include wine. In addition, You have to rent a better house, and you have to spend close to 1 pound a week, well, you have to buy water, gas, charcoal, soap and other things, and you have to consider the cost of travel, which adds up to about 10 soli."

"This is the most basic expense. Don't you take your wife to concerts and plays?"

"Don't you get some new clothes every year? I think, ladies, a family has to spend at least �30 a year on them to be considered respectable."

"In addition, there are maid's salary, children's education expenses, medical expenses for preparation, and expenditures for some necessary decorations."

"Only if the annual income exceeds 200 pounds, can these needs be met and a happy family be established."

"So, in order not to delay your time and cause misunderstandings, I think it is necessary to introduce in advance."

As a lawyer, Jurgen couldn't find a language to refute for a while. Fortunately, he only had serious and serious expressions.

It's really frank... But the basic etiquette is to tell both parties this kind of information in private first. Of course, I understand Mrs. Summer's reason for introducing you in person... Klein smiled and said: "Yes, income is very important."

"Only with an annual income of more than 400 pounds, can you afford a dinner party of this level and allow your wife to have beautiful dresses and exquisite earrings."

Starling immediately lifted her chin slightly, tried her best to suppress a smile and said, "430 pounds, I mean, I need to save some money every year to prevent accidents or invest in stocks and bonds."

This is the approximate annual income of her husband.

After helping the strangers find a topic, she left here and greeted other guests, and Klein obviously noticed that Miss Sarah, Angela and others were more interested in Lawyer Ergen. After all, the other party was not bad, and his job and income were very good Stablize.

As for the private investigators who might enter the police station at any time, they are not the priority of middle-class women. Moreover, Klein has a round beard and looks a little rough. The girls are inevitably a little afraid.

After chatting with him for a few words, he found an excuse to leave, hid in a corner, and enjoyed Jurgen's embarrassing and helpless performance while eating.

At this time, his eloquence as a lawyer did not know where it went.

After a few minutes, the two children of the Summer family ran past Klein playing around.

They noticed the gentleman hiding in the corner, stopped, opened their eyes wide, and asked curiously: "Mr. Moriarty, I heard you are a detective?" JrNovels.com
