And
yet
—
Childan
sensed
a
change
.
"
Your
wife
,
"
Childan
said
,
"
was
disappointed
by
my
crude
gift
.
I
possibly
insulted
.
However
,
with
something
new
and
untried
,
as
I
explained
to
you
when
I
grafted
it
to
you
,
no
proper
or
final
evaluation
can
be
made
—
at
least
not
by
someone
in
the
purely
business
end
.
Certainly
,
you
and
Betty
are
in
a
better
position
to
judge
than
I
.
"
Paul
said
,
"
She
was
not
disappointed
,
Robert
.
I
did
not
give
the
piece
of
jewelry
to
her
.
"
Reaching
into
his
desk
,
he
brought
out
the
small
white
box
.
"
It
has
not
left
this
office
.
"
He
knows
,
Childan
thought
.
Smart
man
.
Never
even
told
her
.
So
that
’
s
that
.
Now
,
Childan
realized
;
let
’
s
hope
he
’
s
not
going
to
rave
at
me
.
Some
kind
of
accusation
about
my
trying
to
seduce
his
wife
.
He
could
ruin
me
,
Childan
said
to
himself
.
Carefully
he
continued
sipping
his
tea
,
his
face
impassive
.
"
Oh
?
"
he
said
mildly
.
"
Interesting
.
"
Paul
opened
the
box
,
brought
out
the
pin
and
began
inspecting
it
.
He
held
it
to
the
light
,
turned
it
over
and
around
.
"
I
took
the
liberty
of
showing
this
to
a
number
of
business
acquaintances
,
"
Paul
said
,
"
individuals
who
share
my
taste
for
American
historic
objects
or
for
artifacts
of
general
artistic
,
esthetic
merit
.
"
He
eyed
Robert
Childan
.
"
None
of
course
had
ever
seen
such
as
this
before
.
As
you
explained
,
no
such
contemporary
work
hithertofore
has
been
known
.
I
think
,
too
,
you
informed
that
you
are
sole
representative
.
"
"
Yes
,
that
is
so
,
"
Childan
said
.
"
You
wish
to
hear
their
reaction
?
