Question

Why was Matilda in hurry to go to her house after the ball?

Answer 1

Answer:

Matilda was in hurry so that she could leave the ball before any of her friends saw her in a bad dress and a small jewel

Answer 2

She was in hurry to go to her house after the ball because after the ball she did not want people to see her impoverished conditions. Her husband did not have a personal vehicle; nor did they have proper elegant clothes to wear for the extreme cold outside. She did not want the rich people wearing elegant clothes to notice their modest and ordinary clothes. So, before the formal closing of the party she wanted to run away from the ball.
