Schön is, indeed, running interference on Mr. Suit, pricking his pride to
get him to point out the details that make him say one painting is true,
and the other false. With that laid out, he can find the faults in the
other. It might be something subtle, like the non-contemporary wood grain
in the wood on which the canvas was stretched, or something. It'll take a
while.
Margaret, meanwhile, gives a nervous laugh. "Oh, I hope we don't
have many forgeries in storage! They generally go to the police, so they
can catch the people who made them, and sold them. We hope."
