This life continued for almost ten long years, by the end of which Mrs. Loisel took up overtime work to save money. All the household work was done by Matilda. In order to repay the loan, they took a rented room and turned away the maid. They bought it for forty thousand Francs, and had to take a loan for it.
When the necklace was not found, they decided to replace it with a similar necklace. In the meantime, they wrote to Madame Forestier that the clasp was broken and also that they would get the necklace repaired and return it. They went to the police and also put an advertisement in the papers. They looked everywhere for it, but it was nowhere to be found. She was terribly shocked when she found the necklace was missing. On reaching home, she decided to take a final look at herself. Matilda borrowed a diamond necklace from her. When she refused to do so, in desperation he told her to borrow jewellery from her dear friend - Mrs. Exasperated, her husband asked her to wear fresh flowers. On being asked the reason, she said that she had no jewels. When the dress was ready, Matilda’s husband saw that still she was not happy. Her loving husband gave her all the money he had set aside to buy a gun. On being asked why she reacted in such a manner, she replied that she did not have the proper dress for the party. He thought his wife would be happy, but she only got angry and threw the invitation card on the table. He had an invitation to a Ball for both of them from the Minister of Public Instruction. One day, her husband came home very happy. All-day, she would be daydreaming of luxurious houses, dainty dinners, elegant dresses and beautiful jewellery.
She suffered a lot of misery as she felt that she had been born for better things. Matilda was a pretty lady, born in a poor family.
