"In that case, let's get an appraisal expert," he said.

"Old Brown, you've been studying these antiques, so take a look at the inkstone and see whether it's real or fake."
The Old Master waved his hand tiredly. A perfectly good birthday banquet had been turned upside down by this family's antics, truly vexing.
Professor Grant, due to his advanced age and not-so-good eyesight, and not one to maliciously speculate on a young girl's intentions, had not suspected the authenticity of the broken inkstone.
Seeing it broken, he felt a deep sense of regret in his heart.
