You must have made a mistake.”“No, I am Mathilde Loisel.”Her friend uttered a cry, “Oh! … my poor Mathilde, how you’ve changed ! …”“Yes, I have had some hard times since I last saw you, and many miseries … and all because of you! …”“Me ? How can that be ?”“You remember that diamond necklace that you lent me to wear to the Ministry party?”“Yes. Well ?”“Well, I lost it.”“What do you mean? You brought it back.” “I brought you back another exactly like it. And it has taken us ten years to pay for it. It wasn’t easy for us, we had very little. But at last it is over, and I am very glad.”Madame Forestier was stunned.“You say that you bought a diamond necklace to replace mine ?”“Yes; you didn’t notice then? They were very similar.”And she smiled with proud and innocent pleasure.Madame Forestier, deeply moved, took both her hands.Frame questions according to question pattern Aur question number first frame four question as a completion carrying half marks each and then frame all questions according to previous pattern which you did so many times
