Good character.
His name is Leopold McCain. He lives in central London, on the one of the most peaceful streets there, but nobody knows that he investigates one crime every day. However, how could they know that? Sir McCain looks like a usual citizen: he wears usual shirts, usual trousers and sometimes puts on just a usual dark blue hat; his hair is simply blonde and his eyes are simply grey. But there's one thing that is wrong with him: he never smiles.
That's why people think that he is rough and even wicked, but don't believe them. Sir McCain is the kindest person you've ever met and the most intelligent detective in modern England at the same time.
Его зовут Леопольд МакКейн. Он живёт в центре Лондона, на одной из самых тихих улиц, но никто не знает, что он расследует по одному преступлению каждый день. И как они могли бы знать? Сэр МакКейн выглядит как обычный гражданин: он носит обычные рубашки, обычные брюки и иногда надевает самую обычную синюю шляпу; его волосы простого цвета блонд, а его глаза просто голубые. Но в нём есть одна отторгающая вещь: он никогда не улыбается. Поэтому люди думают, что он груб и даже опасен, но не верьте им. Сэр МакКейн -- самый добрый человек из всех, кого вы когда-либо встречали, и в то же время самый умный детектив современной Англии.
