The mystery of the mechanical hob. Secrets of the University of Sinclair Urbino

At the beginning of the 20th century in foggy London there is a certain hope: the great department store of Edward Sinclair's wealth is opening. Even before it opens, he finds himself in the center of conjectures, sensitivity and increased respect. Because of such luxury and variety of goods, it seems that London has not yet experienced such luxury.

Her very young Sophie Taylor, a girl from a wealthy homeland, and now an orphan, is worried about the robot’s jokes. How can you describe the joy of going through a competition to become a salesperson? That girl will have to overcome some serious difficulties. And the ridicule and mockery of fellow workers here are not the worst. In advance of the opening of the wonderful department store, the stars steal a unique collection of goods, which Vlasnik intends to demonstrate at an exhibition for a special occasion. The color of the collection is mechanical gorobets. Decorated with numerous cat stones, the bird sang a very different melody. And Sophia’s axis is kicking under suspicion, and even on that disastrous evening they were partying in the hall with misfortunes. Moreover, I’ll ask you to find a hairpin from a broken glass window to suit the girl. Now the task of Sophia and her new friends is to find the right evildoer...
