'Whilst', that is...

Another subject you are an expert in!

My practice had merged with a bigger one. I checked each file to satisfy myself it could be destroyed. Now finished, I held an old envelope in a trembling hand. The Mauritius Red Penny stamp seemed to sparkle through through the grime. Who owned it now?
