663 - CARAT

The BAT and Retriever pub is a pleasant place to tarry. The pub garden consists of a garth quadrangle. However this afternoon the peaceful surroundings are spoiled by the sobs of Felicity who is fraught by the loss of her wedding ring. Several of the other guests have taken pity on her and are searching the garden. "Is this it?", exclaims one of those searching. Felicity hurries over and, with great delight, confirms it is. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you", she says to the finder, kissing him on the cheek more than once. "It is very special to me and is quite valuable, since it's made from 24 carat gold."
