Jack received a letter that profoundly moved him, prompting a sincere apology as he momentarily withdrew. Upon returning, he appeared revitalized and full of joy, proclaiming the letter to be the most beautiful he had ever received, showering Stephen with gratitude. His exuberance was palpable as he admired the elegant handwriting and reflected on his happiness.
