One big mistake changed the very course of Matilda’s and her husband’s lives. They unnecessarily spent their whole savings of 18000 francs left by his father. They had to borrow the rest of the money. And just imagine that 36000 francs were lost to replace a false necklace! They could have avoided all this had they taken Madam Forestier into confidence before buying the replacement.

For ten long years, the beautiful young lady had to work as an ordinary maid. They sent away the maid. They changed their lodgings. They rented some rooms in an attic. Matilda did all the washing of the dishes and the soiled linen. She took down the refuse to the street each morning. She clothed like an ordinary woman. She did all the shopping herself with her basket on her arm. She haggled to the last sous to save some money.

The husband, Mr Loisel, worked in the evenings. He put the books of some merchants in order. He did some copying work at five sous a page. Their miserable life continued for ten years till they paid off all the debts on them
