Their friend, Vernon Godfrey, who is quite wealthy, is interested in Mrs. Masters, holds a note of Eric's, which he is willing to renew, provided the wife will go away with him. She very nearly consents to do this, when he threatens to ruin her husband, but in the end, love for her husband triumphs, and she remains true to him. At a fashionable ball, one of the guests, Mrs. Leslie, loses a valuable jewel, which is found by Eric. This means a way out of all his difficulties, as the jewel is worth $10,000. He is tempted to retain it, giving his wife all she desires, and repaying his friend. But after deliberation, he returns the jewel, preferring to be honest, and with his repentant wife agree to lead a happier and more economical life in future.
