Ryan rambled on for a long time before getting back to the point. "By the way, I have seen the picture you sent. The pottery pot looks like an antique, but I can't be sure until it's tested with an instrument. How about this... I will go to school later. You give me that clay pot. I will take it back for testing and bring it back to you in the evening."
Sophia hurriedly refused, "That is too much trouble for you. I'll deliver it to you when I am available."
"No, no. I… I'm just going to Colin to deal with something."
Sophia thought about it and said, "All right, but you don't have to send it back. It's not too late to give it to me when I get the chance to see you next time."
Sophia found a bag and put the pot in it. For fear of breaking it, she didn't even dig out the soil on it. After dinner, she helped Mrs. Martha clean for a while and went to school.
