I am asking my noble friend to inquire what has happened to this missing inkstand.
This nice touch that some gnome in some department thought up, "a reproduction silver inkstand", was very interesting.
I could not think he was addressing an audience, because he was standing and addressing the inkstand on his writing table.
However, it is a reproduction silver inkstand.
Styppeiotes rose from one office to the next, eventually reaching the position of "kanikleios", guardian of the imperial inkstand.
