One night, her husband brought back an invitation from the Minister and his wife of the Ministry of Education, inviting her and her husband to a party held in the Education Auditorium on June 5438+ 10/8. This made her feel embarrassed. Her husband asked her why she was unhappy, and she said it was difficult for her to show up at the party without a dress. Her husband was helpless and had to agree to buy her a dress with the money for a shotgun. Her face turned from cloudy to sunny.
As the date of the party approaches, although the long skirt is ready, she is anxious about not having high-grade jewelry. Finally, she borrowed a necklace from Mrs. Frith. She jumped with joy when she saw her hairstyle in the mirror.
At the party, she was radiant and stood out from the crowd, which made all the male guests fall for it. She danced enthusiastically and excitedly, and she was a little carried away because she felt unprecedented glory and satisfaction. She didn't hurry home until 4 am. When she gets home, she wants to see her style again. However, in the mirror, the necklace had disappeared from her neck, which made her feel like thunder.
Her husband looked everywhere but found no trace, so he had to tell Mrs. Frith that the hook of the diamond necklace was broken and was being repaired, and secretly borrowed money from someone. When returning the necklace, Mrs. Frith blamed her for not returning it to her earlier, and angrily put the necklace in the cupboard without opening the box.
In order to pay off this terrible debt, Mathilde quit her job, lived in the attic, took care of the housework, and bargained while shopping, completely ignoring the ridicule of others. 10 years later, she finally paid off her debts.
A week later, she met Mrs. Frith in the park. She is so old that Mrs. Frith can't recognize her. When Mrs. Frith asked why, she was moved to tell her that his necklace was fake.
