Another Evening at the Club

This young girl marries a man that her parents choose for her. He is wealthy and handsome. The girl loses her emerald ring that her husband bought for her and she blames it on their servant, who is consequently taken to jail and beaten until she confesses. The next day the girl finds her ring behind her dresser and tells her husband. But instead of calling the police to release the girl the husband takes the emerald ring and says that he will pawn it off for something else the next time that he travels. He does this because he is afraid that the town will find out that they had actually made a mistake, and that will make them appear foolish. At first the girl is uncomfortable with their choice, but as soon as her husband reminds her of her care free happy little rich world, she is back to being happy. She too gives in to the luxuries of being wealthy and loses her integrity like her husband.
