(“Poppa Joe. Maybe one of the kid’s relatives, or one of the kids.” Pause. “Something about a ring, and Bill. I don’t recall if he wears rings; but if not then the ring finger would be hurt, particularly. But I have a picture of a ring, something like the one you wear. Maybe it’s the other guy’s.”

(Jane referred to my old high-school ring, which I still wear.

(I asked Jane to lay her wedding ring on the table. The three of us joined hands around the ring. Sitting quietly in the dim light, staring at the ring, I soon realized that with a nudge or two from the imagination the unwary observer might not have too much trouble seeing what he wanted to.

[...] At the same time she was waiting for the phone to ring. When it did ring a few minutes later she called to me to answer it. It stopped ringing however after three times, long before I could get over to answer it.

[...] Jane told me later that after I left she began to get very strong feelings that the phone was going to ring, with some exceptionally good news for us. [...]

The object for tonight is some kind of ring, or perhaps two rings intertwined. Not the type of ring worn on a finger, but larger.
