Detailed explanation-1: -The Loisels had to buy a diamond necklace for thirty-six thousand francs to replace the one that was lost. Matilda had to cut down on the household expenses and save money while Mr Loisel worked overtime and did copying work at nights. In this way, they could repay the money in ten years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Loisel did the housework herself. To pay up for this money, the husband worked in the evenings by putting books of merchants in order and at night copying at five sous a page.
Detailed explanation-3: -They continue to look for the necklace. After a week, Monsieur Loisel says they have to see about replacing it.
