Leland, with that athletic stride of someone who does twenty push-ups each morning and avoids starchy foods, on reaching the Van Gogh, started rocking back an forth on his heels, appraising the painting with what seemed to Bonnet a mask of indifference. Smart as a fox, Bonnet thought to himself. He will not tip his hand. He glances at it as though politely, with no interest in it whatever. It's the oldest flea-market trick in the world.
