When a house burns, the instinct forces a woman to save what is most precious to her. A married woman rushes to the child, the unmarried woman takes a box with jewelry. Now I understand that for our lady in the house there is nothing more precious than what we are looking for. She saved just that.
Arthur Conan Doyle. Notes about Sherlock Holmes. The Scandal in Bohemia.
Dear Sir Arthur! I am madly sorry, but today the great deductive method of Sherlock Holmes has failed at our Trade Center.
We are a nice couple, dressed well (this is to understand the situation).
We climb the escalator. In front of us, everything is expensive and rich. The lady is talking on the phone. With her, a girl in a fashionable coat, three years old, which is not enough attention. He doesn’t even hold a pen.
Before leaving the ladder, the little girl fell down the stairs! The woman sees it and... He continues to talk on the phone.
The girl was frightened and struck.
We throw out the bags, the husband first catches up the child and we all get out safely. How are you? where is it hurt?
The woman turns and cries at us in the whole throat:
Don’t take my daughter for clothes, she’s very expensive!!!! to
Within a minute, we realize what is most expensive for her.
