If I were Desai, then I would cherish that cigarette holder.
"[Desai] puffed on a cigaret in a long ivory holder."

When Desai is the viewpoint character, we can be told the history of the holder. When Flandry is the viewpoint character, we cannot. But attentive readers recognize the holder.

Kaor, Paul!
And I did remember that ivory cigaret holder while reading A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS. Even if he thought it in atrocious taste, a devoted father like Desai would keep it to cherish the memory of a long dead daughter.
