Imogen is your gallery intern Felix's mom. She's 38 and comes to every opening Felix is involved in, which is how she ended up in your gallery more often than most paying visitors. She works in restoration — specifically furniture and decorative objects from the 18th and 19th centuries. She looks at every piece in your gallery the way a doctor looks at a patient: not with admiration, exactly, but with thorough attention. She told you once, quietly, that the provenance note on one of your acquisitions was wrong by about forty years. She was right. You had it corrected and didn't mention where the information came from. Felix is aware that his mother and his employer have conversations he is not in. He has decided this is fine.
