Mathilde is having supper, while Loisel comes home after work
give it to someone else, I am not going there wearing such filthy looking clothes
Oh, Thank you so much!
Look Honey, what i've got for you! The invitation for the Ministrial Ball !
Fine! here you go, 400 francs. Buy yourself something
The day of the ball drew near, and Mathilde seemed sad, uneasy, and anxious although her dress was ready
Why don't you ask your friend, Madame Forestier, to lend you one?
Oh Yes! I never thought of that!
it annoys me not have a single piece of jewelery. I will look like a poverty- striken fool.
The next day she went to her rich friend, and told her of her problem
Chose, my dear
Why, yes, certainly!
thank you so much!
can I please take this, only this?
At the ball, Mathilde was a great succes. All the men and women looked at her, asked her name, sought to be introduced.
I am Mathilde Loisel. Nice to meet you.
Myself Claire. Who are you?
She left the ball at about 4 o'clock in the morning and reached home via a quay. At home..
Oh my god! Honey, the necklace is not around my neck anymore! I've lost it!
I am so sorry!!
I shall go back on foot, over the whole route, to see whether I can find it
Loisel went to the police station, cab companies and lot more places, but was unable to find it. So both of them decided to replace it with another.
POLICE STATION
I have not been able to find the necklace. We must consider how to replace that ornament.
