Detailed explanation-2: -What excuse did Loisels put up to explain the delay in returning the necklace? Solution : Loisels had lost the necklace and needed time to find an identical one. Thus, Loisels wrote a letter to Mme Forestier with an excuse that the clasp of the necklace was broken and they needed time to get it repaired.
Detailed explanation-3: -What lie did they tell to Mme. Forestier? Why? They said she broke the clasp and were having it repaired.
