A procuress then, who lived on the Pont des Tournelles, was visited one day by a knight, who put a ring into her hands. 'It is of fine gold, he told her, 'and hath a balass ruby mounted in the bezel. An you know any dames of good estate, go say to the most comely of them that the ring is hers if she is willing to come to see me and do at my pleasure.
The poor man's seal was a simple copper or silver ring; the ring of the rich man was a more or less elaborate jewel covered with chasing and relief work. The bezel was movable, and turned upon a pivot. As in the eyes of her husband his ring was the one essential ornament, so was her necklace in the estimation of the Egyptian lady.
"And so cannot have been a spectacle-glass. But the surface was curved one side convex and the other concave and the little piece that remains of the original edge seems to have been ground to fit a bezel or frame. I should say that these are portions of a watch-glass." "That is Polton's opinion," said Thorndyke, "and I think you are both wrong."
