"Dear you,
I'm writing to you about my adventures with the Professor (well my older brother but he said I should call him Professor) about when we solved the big mystery of the Golden Masquerade. It was a great travel from and loads of fun. So I thought I might right about how everything happened in book for you. I can remember what happened, when, why, ect. It's just one of them things I can't forget since it's so awesome!
Okay that's it for my letter now but you can read the book.
With Love,
Peter Kirkland"
Professor Kirkland: and the Golden Masquerade
My brother leaned back against his chair in the cab; we both stared out the window as the cab slowly swerved past Big Ben. He seemed pretty relaxed did my brother but I don't know why he's gotten into wearing that Sherlock Holmes hat… He won't take it off now… I on the other hand preferred to just stick to my hats; you wouldn't catch me dead in his hat, no way! But I did admit, he looked rather nice in it. Grown up, gentleman like and sensible… It made him look like everything he wasn't.
"Arrrthuuur? Are we there yet?" I whined fiddling with the straps of my bag, "I'm thirsty… Got a drink?"
Arthur looked at me and frowned, "Excuse me?"
I blinked and swallowed, Oh I forgot. I had to call him 'Professor' now; he managed to finish his university studies and got a job. He's actually doing well in life even though I annoy him to hell. I was surprised of course, my older brother? A professor teaching Physics and Chemistry in a University in London? No I couldn't believe that either…
"Professor… Even… Got a drink? I'm thirsty…" I spoke in a less whiny voice. Arthur sighed and shook his head.
"Sorry Peter, but do tidy up your manners its not gentle man like to do that in public. Don't whine please… We'll stop off at a café to get some tea before we get there okay?" he smiled and petted my head.
I pouted childishly, I was childish back then. Incredibly childish, my brother was so obsessed with being gentleman like. It made me feel sick but of course I did respect him still. In some ways Arthur was a role model to me. I didn't admit… Never… But still he was my brother and so I guess it was his job to be a good role model for me.
"But we're in a cab! That's not public is it?" I muttered and folded my arms and slouched back in the seat. Arthur sighed and pulled me up a little so I'd sit up.
"We have a cab driver don't we? He's a member of the public so you must act gentleman like at all times… Also… Don't slouch like that it's –"
"Not Gentleman like I know…" I interrupted and frowned more.
He blinked and let out a chuckle, "Yes, yes it is my dear brother but I was going to say. It's bad for your back. But if you insist on that then yes it's not Gentleman like…" Arthur smiled and adjusted his hat, quietly chuckling to himself.
The cab pulled up by the side of the road and we both got out. Arthur paying the driver and giving him some tip then we walked down the road together.
"Where are we going anyway?" I asked looking up at Arthur, "Who we going to met? Why do I have to go? Can we have some tea now?" I started to whine again. Arthur tutting a little but still managed to smile.
"Ah well if you'll just slow down on the questions and quit whining then I'll answer…" he replied still relaxed as ever which was starting to freak me out.
I nodded my head and sighed, "Oh… Sorry…"
Arthur chuckled again and continued to walk, "Ah well we're going to go to the National Museum a friend of mine is waiting there to meet me. This friend used to study with me in university and we got along quite well. So this will be this first time we'll meet in a while now but I thought it'd be nice if you tagged along. Besides I couldn't really leave you at home and oh sure let's just stop here…" he stopped and opened the door of a small tea room café and let me in first.
That answered a lot of my questions, but I soon thought of many more while we drank our tea and had lunch with a large helping of desserts. Mmm Chocolate cake…
Soon after a lovely lunch, we walked to the museum in search of Arthur's friend.
"My friend says that he'll be waiting in the Cafeteria…" Arthur gave a small nod and looked at the mass of people in the area.
"P-P-Professor! How do we know who's your friend?" I stuttered. He chuckled and nodded his head.
"Oh easy! He's sat at the table…" he smiled and pointed at the far corner table.
"E-e-eh but which one?" I stared.
