Her jeweler shows her a diamond studded bracelet, valued at $2,500, and asks her permission to submit it to her husband for his personal inspection. Marion consents and tells the jeweler to bring the bracelet to her home that evening after the dinner hour. The jeweler does so, and meets with a cool reception from Wallace, who rebukes Marion for her extravagance. They have their first big serious quarrel. She locks herself in her bedroom and refuses to see or speak to her husband. After a night of reflection, Wallace determines to make up the quarrel. His wife, not coming down to breakfast, he goes up to her room to see her. She refuses to either admit him or speak to him. Saddened, Wallace leaves for his office. Later in the day he is called out of town on business. Determined to please his wife, he is forced to mortgage his home for the $2,500 necessary to buy the bracelet. He keeps the fact a secret from her, however, and forwards the bracelet and a bouquet of flowers out to his home by messenger together with a note informing Marion that he is called out of town and won't be back until midnight. That night, Marion attends a gambling card party at the home of a friend, and meets a Mr. Fulton, a social rounder, who pays her unwelcome attentions. She loses $135, and gives her hostess an I.O.U. for the debt. She returns home worried and half sick over the loss of the money. She falls asleep in front of the fireplace and has a weird dream in which her husband shoots a dream lover of hers. She is awakened by her returning husband and is overjoyed to find that it is only a dream. Sobered by the vividness of the dream, Marion gives her husband the bracelet and asks him to return it to the jeweler and forgive her, she promising to henceforth be a model wife.
