Harvey walked over to wake Shirley. As soon as her right hand touched her shoulder, she saw the willow eyebrows move. Shirley opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Harvey in front of him with a gentle smile, as if he realized that his polite smile had changed. It was embarrassing.
Harvey looked at her and said with concern: “Shirley, go to rest when you are tired, don’t worry too much about the illustrations, we still have plenty of time.”
“It’s only eight o’clock in the evening, so I don’t need to rest so early. Then I will wash the master’s clothes first.” Shirley stood up and arranged the exquisite illustrations in front of her and said in a hurry. I couldn’t help yawning.
Harvey thoughtfully: “Go to bed early and get up early. Soaking your clothes at night will make it easier to clean up the stains. Well, you can go out with me at ten o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“Yes.” Shirley was quiet and didn’t ask why Harvey wanted to take her out.
When the time came the next day, Harvey, who had changed his clothes, just came downstairs and saw Shirley in a gray-brown plainclothes. The top was similar to a women’s suit.

Shirley didn’t react for a while, and she hesitated for a while before she put her right hand on Harvey’s right hand and stood side by side with him: “Master, is it okay to walk together like this?”
The way two people join hands is generally only used by women or couples in close relationships.
Harvey smiled: “I’m afraid passers-by say I am not worthy of you, dear Miss Shirley, today you are not a maid but an elegant and beautiful lady.”
“Yes, everything is up to the master.”
Harvey waved his hand to stop a carriage and ordered the groom to go to the largest supermarket in El Roy. Supermarkets are not uncommon in this era. They mostly target female customers, selling clothes, perfumes, jewelry, and expensive furniture. Arriving at the destination, Harvey got off the carriage and saw a three-story luxurious building in front of him. It was located at the junction of two streets. The customers who entered and exited were basically well-dressed women. Harvey held Shirley’s hand. Came to a well-known optical shop on the third floor.
The layout of the store is quite luxurious. There are various styles of glasses on display at the counter. There are more patterns than modern optical shops, some of which are gold glasses, there are strangely shaped monocles and hand-held glasses similar to magnifying glasses.

“Of course, please come here.”
Shirley is a little nervous and grabs Harvey by the sleeve: “Master…”
Harvey bowed his head to her ear and whispered: “Let’s go, your eyes can’t see things far away. It just happens that part of the royalties for the novel have already been paid. If you don’t have a pair of glasses, you probably have to bow your head when you draw. Go and see, I don’t want to affect the quality of the illustrations because of this.”
Shirley knew the condition of her eyes, and she was a little hesitant: “But the glasses are too expensive.”
“Shirley, trust me, any illustration you draw is worth more than ten times the most expensive glasses here.”

With modern experience, he directly instructs the shop assistant to reduce the degree of the glasses tested by 70. Degree, so that the eyes will not easily feel dizzy or tired.

The next morning the glasses were delivered by the waiter himself.
On the sofa in the living room, Shirley carefully opened the glasses case, took out the glasses wrapped in silk handkerchief and circled them around. The crystal lenses looked more beautiful than any gemstone in her eyes. After putting on the glasses, her overall temperament became more gentle and intellectual. She stood up and curious about the decoration and arrangement of the customer hall.

As if coming to a new world, Shirley’s delicate cheeks showed a flush of excitement, her eyes became gentle and a natural smile bloomed.
“Shirley, how do you feel?” Harvey asked with a smile while standing in front of the handrail on the second floor. He heard the doorbell when he was creating “The Count of Monte Cristo” just now.
“Yes, very…very clear.” Shirley walked to the window, stretched out her finger to wipe the wooden frame, looked up at the dust on her finger, looked up at Harvey, embarrassed and whispered softly: “Never before. I have noticed the dust in this corner, and the guests will feel very rude when they see it.”
“Yesterday I said glasses are too expensive.”
