The provenance of some of the stuff

Lisbeth is struggling on with her sorting and clearing. She has had a look through some boxes of stuff that she has already been through - last year, I think, and confirmed that it is all to go. (Why go through it again?)

What she has done this time, however, is to check on the provenance (a great word for talking practice) on the web, of some hunting prints that she owns. She's found out quite a lot about the people depicted in these - probably Victorian - pen and ink drawings and has e-mailed (a bit of a clunky word, don't you think!) a specialist auction house for advice. Would she be better selling them on e-bay, I ask myself? Maybe she would. However, the important thing is that she is making progress and the form of that progress is less important than the function - don't you think!
