Detailed explanation-1: -Loisel immediately went over the whole route that they had walked to search for the necklace. He even went to the police, to the newspaper offices to offer a reward, and to the cab companies.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Mathilde meets Madame Forestier, she finds out that the diamonds were fake and cheap. Hence, the young woman simultaneously lost the necklace, ten years of her life, and a chance for a luxurious life. All of this happened because she decided not to tell her friend about the loss.
Detailed explanation-3: -Losing the necklace had seemed to be Mathilde’s fatal mistake, but it was actually Mathilde’s failure to be truthful with Madame Forestier that sealed her fate.
Detailed explanation-4: -They replaced the necklace by paying eighteen thousand francs, which his father had left him and borrowing the rest of the amount from usurers and money lenders. Then they changed their lodgings and rented an attic, got rid of the maid and Mme. Loisel did the housework herself.
