The narrow Chester Street was not spacious, allowing only one carriage to pass in one way, and the noisy crowds of people who came and went tended to be more inclined to walk, and parked their own carriages on the north-south avenue next door: although it was indeed inconvenient to walk, and seemed to be a faux pas to the aristocratic elite; But over time, it has also formed a unique custom, where gentlemen and ladies can show their fashion taste and temperament, as if they were models stretching out the catwalk.If you're interested in changing fashion trends throughout the year, there's no better way to visit Chester Street.Of course, every gentleman and lady who comes to Chester Street for a "walk" must also be prepared to be the object of observation, and the slightest mistake can be put under a magnifying glass for scrutiny, and if there is a deviation in dress, it will not be long before the social occasions of the upper class will be widely circulated.Jasmine downstairs in the Holden house always hoped that she could come to Chester Street for an afternoon, without having to enter the store, and squatting on the corner to watch the people come and go.It's a pity that time doesn't allow it, and she doesn't have enough beautiful clothes to show herself.At this time, walking down Chester Street, you can see young boys and girls walking on the stage, either excited or restrained, proud or low-key, bathed in the sight of scrutiny and inquiry, bursting with youthful vitality, eagerly looking forward to the upcoming back-to-school ball.Hoden and Robben didn't have much presence in between.Wearing the school uniform of Sekpeth Academy does not look outdated or downcast, but it also lacks personal characteristics, far from being fashionable, coupled with the lazy and low-key Holden and the silent Robben, the aura around them converged, and they were in a group of peacocks, so naturally they did not attract too much attention."
Adrian's Tailor's Shop" is not the best, located a little west in the middle of Chester Street, and is not a shop that can be visited by customers as soon as you turn a corner into the street; However, Chester Street is not very long, only less than 200 meters before and after, even if it is in a "bad" location, being able to live in this street and survive has its own specialty."
AhhWhen the footsteps were about to reach their destination, Robben still couldn't hold back, and sneezed violently, and his nose was a little embarrassed and red.Holden could have guessed without asking the reason that Robben must have been smoked by the strong smell of perfumes, and all kinds of different perfume scents were mixed together, not only rich but also complex, which was indeed unbearable; And Holden, who has a more sensitive sense of smell than before, suffers even more, and he almost holds his breath all the way.Robben noticed Hoden's smiling eyes and chose to ignore Hoden, went straight around Hoden, walked up the steps, and pushed open the door of the store.Hodden staggered in, and the rich aroma of the street was isolated behind him - it was more comfortable indoors than outdoors, which was also a rare experience."
Welcome to Adrian's Tailor', is there anything I can do to help you?"
The golden-brown lacquered wood décor and navy blue interior accents settle the atmosphere.Robben, who was walking in front, waited for a while, he thought that Hoden would take the initiative to speak, but he didn't expect that Hoden was quietly looking at the decoration of the tailor shop with his hands behind his back, and he didn't mean to care about it at all, so he had to Robben go out.According to the previously conceived rhetoric, Robben said that they needed to customize the suit for the homecoming ball, and the receptionist in charge of receiving the guests immediately smiled knowingly."
If you make a suit now, it will take at least three weeks to pick it up, why don't you try the suit that has been made in the store, choose the suit you like, and then we adjust it according to your size and get it before the back-to-school prom, what do you think?"
Obviously, there have been a lot of students who have been visiting Chester Street for the Homecoming Ball lately, and the children of the nobility have been preparing for a long time; Casual students are the norm – but custom suits are also much more expensive, often tripling or even quintuple.For the average student, even if they have the time, they will be more inclined to pick up the in-store set."
No problem."
Robben's mind was not on the suit at all, so he nodded casually and agreed.At this point, Hodden was taking a closer look at his surroundings: it was a very ordinary tailor's shop, at least on the surface, with nothing out of the ordinary.But Holden also understands that even if the tailor shop does hide a dark room or mechanism, it is not so easy to find.Moreover, he and Samuel came to the tailor shop to make suits before and there were no accidents, which also means that the tailor shop itself should have no problems.If the tailor's shop is hiding any secrets, then the clue should also be in ......"
In addition, he needs to book a set of overalls for Mr.
Harford's dinner. ”A few fragments of the picture flashed in Howlen's mind, and he keenly captured it, and then said in a low voice to the little brother at the front desk.Throughout the tailor's shop, there are three apprentice tailors at work, serving different customers; Then there is the little brother who is in charge of registration and reception at the front desk.Assuming that the breakthrough really exists, then it must be the front desk brother.Really!
The little brother at the front desk looked up at Holden, his eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes, "No problem."
Is it for next month's dinner?
”"Hmm."
Hoden said yes.The front desk guy folded the guest file list on the table and put it aside; Then he took out another file book from the drawer, opened it directly, and quickly started to register on it, "His name?"
”“…… William Gibson. ”Hoden casually uttered a name."
Age?""
Eighteen."
But that's not the end of it."
Introducer's name."
Hodden was about to come up with another name, but he caught a hint of inspiration in his head, and blurted out a name, "Nick Nightingale." ”The guy at the front desk lowered his head to complete the registration quickly, he did not close the file register immediately, but waited for the ink stains to dry; There didn't seem to be a taboo about Hoden's gaze.The guy at the front desk raised his head and smiled at Hoden, "Everyone is eager to work at the banquet, and this is a good opportunity to climb to the sky." ”Frank and sincere, just a small talk between the host and the customer, to shorten the distance between each other, is also an important part of the front desk work.Judging from the expression and movements of the guy at the front desk, he should just be in charge of the record, but he doesn't know what this file roster means.Hodden didn't understand either, but he still needed to go through it himself to confirm the details, so what should he do?
