Her husband spends 400 francs on a new dress and she herself borrows a diamond（鉆石） necklace from her good friend Jeanne .67.這對夫婦在宮廷舞會上感到非常成功。But on their way home, she finds the necklace is no longer around her neck. They rush back to look for it. But they can’t find it .The young couple borrow a great deal of money and buy a necklace that is exactly like Jeanne’s. It costs them 36,000 francs.68.So they have to work day and night to pay back the money they have borrowed. After ten years of hard work to pay back all the money, Mathilde looks so old that Jeanne even can’t recognize her when they meet. When Jeanne hears the story, she tells Mathilde the necklace isn’t a real diamond necklace. It is worth 500 francs at most.
