It is one of a pair my wife gave me on my birthday, the year we were married.

I missed it from my jewel case after she left, and thought somebody had stolen it.

Now I know that my wife must have taken it, and then dropped it at Mrs.Cleary's.

So I came here tonight hoping against hope--it was so many months ago--to get some further information regarding her.

Then I remembered that I had not asked Mrs.Cleary what the woman looked like, and I was about to return home, when that poor girl staggered in, and I got a look at her face.
