Detailed explanation-1: -Matilda called her, but she could not recognise Matilda because she looked much older than her age. Mme Forestier was shocked to know that Matilda had suffered so much worrying about losing her necklace of real diamonds, whereas it was false.
Detailed explanation-2: -Madame Forestier also serves as the means to reveal the story’s surprise ending: that the original necklace was an imitation and not the expensive piece of jewelry that Mathilde endured poverty to replace.
Detailed explanation-3: -Matilda told her the whole story. Shocked at the story, Mrs. Forestier told her a shocking truth, the diamond necklace that she had lent to Matilda had been made of artificial diamonds and was worth only five hundred francs.
Detailed explanation-4: -When Madame Loisel went to return the necklace, Madame Forestier said in a faintly waspish tone: “You could have brought it back a little sooner! I might have needed it.” She didn’t open the case as her friend had feared she might.
