Today, Mycroft is boasting about getting Enola and me to see an education proper to his standards.


From his point of view, bullied into submission so he can feel better about himself. 


I was sitting with Sherlock in his old office. 


and while he read the newspaper, I read a book


"So who is this lady" I said, lady dramatically


"her name is Ms. Harrison" I nodded


"M-R-S-H-A-R-R-I-S-O-N" I spelled out. he looked towards me "oh sorry, it's easier for me to learn things by spelling it out" I looked down


"me too" Sherlock smiled "But it's without the R" I looked up


"huh?"


"she's never been married, so it is M-S" I laughed


"it is without an R? this woman thinks she has the brain capacity to think she can teach us about marriage yet she's never been married." I said. Sherlock laughed


we went back to reading


"what are you reading?" Sherlock asked


"I finished Jane Eyre last night so I'm re-reading Pride and Prejudice" Sherlock nodded


"what's it about?" he asked. 


I stood up for a dramatic reading


"The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet." I stood on a chair "the dynamic protagonist of the book who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. Its humor lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage, and money during the in Great Britain." I sat down. Sherlock clapped


"amazing. may I read it after you?" I nodded


"don't worry I have a second copy upstairs! This is amazing! Enola hates reading!" I said excitedly. I got up to get it

I walked up the stairs to my room. 


"doo doo doo" I sang to myself. I walked into my room. I went to my bookshelves "where are you, Jane Austen!?" I said.
