He told Mathilde to open the large envelope and there was inside an invitation for an evening reception at the Ministry on Monday night. Mathilde was annoyed and tossed the invitation. She cried out to her husband that she didn't have anything to wear, she was poor and she doesn't have classy and fancy dresses and jewels for those events. Her husband gave her four hundred francs to buy a dress.]]> 2022-09-03 00:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281255125 ana2282005 https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281257315 Mathilde got a pretty dress, however, she was depressed and worried and her husband noticed it. He asked her what was the matter, and Mathilde answered that she didn't have any jewels to wear. Her husband didn't have more money, so he exclaimed that she could borrow a necklace from her wealthy friend. Mathilde agreed and went straight to her friend, Madame Forestier.]]> 2022-09-03 01:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281257315 ana2282005 https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281261394 Mathilde ended up borrowing a necklace from Madame Foresteir, a diamond necklace. She falls in love with it. The party finally arrived, Mathilde was such a great success. People were asking for her and even asked her to dance with them. She felt true victory, triumph, and glory. When it was time to go home, her husband grabbed her wrap and enveloped her. Mathilde was embarrassed by her low-grade wrap, so she ran away and tried to hide from the wealthiest. They found those ancient nocturnal broughams and went home. ]]> 2022-09-03 01:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281261394 ana2282005 https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281271237 These precise words came out of Mathilde's mouth. When they finally arrived at the apartment, she was depressed and disappointed that everything was ended, she needed to go back to her poor life, and she ended the night in the worst possible way. She wanted to look at her in the mirror one last time, but suddenly, she realized the necklace was not on her neck. She was freaked out. Her husband went to retrace the whole distance they covered, but they couldn't find anything.]]> 2022-09-03 01:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281271237 ana2282005 https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281274195 Mathilde needed to return the necklace, but after looking for it in every place they could, there was nothing. The last option they had was to find the same necklace and buy it. They went through the whole city to find the necklace, and finally, they found it. Their problem was solved, except for the fact that it was worth 36,000 francs. With misery in their hearts, they bought it and gave it to Madame Forestier. Mathilde had to find a job to pay the debt, and her husband had to work extra hours. She spent 10 years working hard for covering the debt.]]> 2022-09-03 01:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281274195 ana2282005 https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281278113 10 years had passed, and Mathilde was walking to forget the week's chores for a while, but suddenly she caught sight of a woman with a child. It was Madame Forestier. Mathilde went straight to her, at first Madame asked who was and she was confused, but then she realized who was Mathilde and was worried because she was unrecognizable
for the years of hard work she had. Mathilde and her husband already covered the debt, so she told Madame Forestier the whole truth about the necklace. She even blames her for everything. After listening to the whole distress story Madame Forestier told her that her necklace was worth at least 5,000 francs, it was fake.

The end :/ ]]> 2022-09-03 01:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ana2282005/j324jatiivk2gt7a/wish/2281278113
