[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
A lady laments that her love had left her. He, still there, comes to comfort her but tells her that he is sworn to leave. She gives him a ring: while he wears it, he will shed no blood, but if he sees the stone fade, he will know she is dead. He has not been gone more than months when the stone does. He gives all his goods as alms, and dies.
Spoilers end here.
