To tell the truth, Im rather fond of it.” However, the strangers interest in the bowl led Mr. Fox to decide on a certain

34、 course of action. “Now, if that chap was interested in buying it, we might have something a bit special here,” he said. “Have you got any film left in your camera, my love?” Amelia lent her husband her camera and he took several photographs of the bowl, which he sent off to Sothebys in London.

Being questioned by the police was a novel experience.” “The fact is,” the Inspector went on, “that bowl is stolen property. It disappeared from the Victoria and Albert Museum i

39、n 1965.” Unit 8 The Chinese BowlDetailed Reading9 “Oh, my goodness .” stammered Mr. Fox. So the bowl never reached the auction room and Mr. Fox never received the five-figure sum that had been mentioned.
