She dressed plainly because she could not dress well, but she was unhappy as if she had really fallen from a higher station; since with women there is neither caste nor rank, for beauty, grace and charm take the place of family and birth.
She was distressed at the poverty of her dwelling, at the bareness of the walls.
But one evening her husband reached home with a triumphant air and holding a large envelope in his hand.
I'm so excited.
She tore the paper quickly and drew out a printed card which bore these words: The Minister of Public instruction and Madame Georges Ramponneau request the honor of M. and Madame Loisel's company at the palace of the ministry on Monday evening, January 18th'.
There, there is something for you.
It annoys me not to have a single piece of jewelry, not a single ornament, nothing to put on. I shall look poverty-stricken. I would almost rather not go at all.
How stupid you are! Go look up your friend, Madame Forestier, and ask her to lend you some jewels.
Suddenly she discovered, in a black satin box, a superb diamond necklace. She fastened it around her throat.
I have-I have-I've lost Madame Forestier's necklace
What is the matter with you.
We must consider how to replace this ornament
I brought you back another exactly like it. And it has taken us ten years to pay for it.
Well I lost it
Do you remember that diamond necklace you lent me to wear at the ministerial ball.
Oh, my poor Mathilde! Why, my necklace was paste! It was worth at most only five hundred francs!
What do you mean? You brought it back.
yes.
