Actually it is two stories.
The first is about a cop who is on patrol and meets a man who looks like a bum, they have a quick conversation about how the bum was suppose to meet a friend there after so many years.
In the end it turns out that the cop is this friend but recognizes that his friend is a wanted criminal and does not want to arrest him. He ends up finding another officer to do it and tell his friend who he is.
The other story is about a couple, I believe they were on a ship, and the man gets into an argument about pearls with another passenger. The passenger claims that he can spot any fake from real and the husband asks him to tell whether his wifes pearls are real or fake. The expert knows that pearls are real but realizes the wife does not want her husband to know she had a rich lover.
If you know either of these stories please let me know, they have been driving me nuts for a long time, thank you.
