L34-2:A happydiscovery

My old friend,Frank Halliday, is just such a person. He has often described to me how he pickedup a masterpiece for a mere $50.One Saturday morning, Frank visited an antiqueshop in my neighbourhood. As he had never been there before, he found a greatdeal to interest him. The morning passed rapidly and Frank was about to leavewhen he noticed a large packing case lying on the floor. The dealer told himthat it had just come in, but that he could not be bothered to open it. Frankbegged him to do so and the dealer reluctantly prised it open. The contentswere disappointing. Apart from an interesting-looking carved dagger, the boxwas full of crockery, much of it broken. Frank gently lifted the crockery outof the box and suddenly noticed a miniature painting at the bottom of thepacking case. As its composition and line reminded him of an Italian paintinghe knew well, he decided to buy it. Glancing at it briefly, the dealer told himthat it was worth £50. Frank could hardly conceal his excitement, for he knewthat he had made a real discovery. The tiny painting proved to be an unknownmasterpiece by Correggio and was worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
