"And did you?" Hunsaker asked.
"I did. More, I tore up a big card that used to live in our front window—'Genuine Antiques!' Yes; never sold faked stuff after that, unless labelled as such. Lordy! I'm wastin' your valuable time."
"Not at all."
"Posy, show Mr. Hunsaker that case o' miniatures. I've a Samuel Cooper, two Englehearts, a Plimer, and half a dozen Cosways."
Hunsaker shook his head.
"I know nothing about miniatures. There's a daisy of a china cabinet!"
"It is. Delighted to show you stuff, Mr. Hunsaker. You've the collector's eye. Take a squint at those blue and white jars on the mantelpiece."
"I'd sooner look at your chairs."
Quinney said lightly:
"You can look, at anything you like, Mr. Hunsaker, but I understood from Mr. Tomlin that you had all the mahogany you wanted."
