Final answer:
The correct answer cannot be provided without additional context or a specific reference to the work in question mentioning Professor Manley and Sophie.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question appears to be related to a literary work where Professor Manley gave a gift to Sophie after a Trial by Tale. Unfortunately, based on the information provided, there's no direct reference to a Professor Manley or the specific gift he gave to Sophie. The excerpts provided mention various gifts from different characters in different scenarios, such as Uncle Oelbermann's box of toys, a gift related to courtship or marriage that's possibly from Aristotle and Phyllis or Tristan and Iseult, and a paper weight by Selina. Without a specific text to refer to, it is not possible to accurately answer what Professor Manley gave Sophie as a gift after the Trial by Tale.
