Abstract

Two sisters visit their friends across the lake, and on the boat the older sister flirts with an artist for fun. She loses her ring, which the artist finds and thinks is a token of her admiration. Their paths cross again the next day, but he is embarrassed to find that she is involved with another man and had no interest in him.
