Content Summary: He sees how hurt she is about the ring and is truly sorry. Would she rather he returned it? He lent it to Isabel Bateman with no thought of a slight to Mrs James. Her whim was simply the vanity of most women to wear so pretty a thing. He strives to be honest and straightforward in his doings and the ring will lose its value if he is not sure he keeps it ungrudgingly. He never sees his children and may not for some years. If they came to him he would have liked her to see them but they never do. He heard of the Era's attack and guessed why she did not send it.
