Champs Élysées

I had worked ten years trying to pay for the loss of my dear friend Mme. Forestier's necklace. For years I felt horrible, working to the bone. Today I spotted Mme. Forestier and decided to confess to the ongoing work I had done to replace her necklace I had lost. I had told her everything, losing the necklace and working to repay it.  I mean why not? I had already paid it off and returned the new one to her. I had told her this "'I brought you back another just like it. And for this we have been ten years paying. You can understand that it was not easy for us, us who had nothing. At last it is ended, and I am very glad.'" ( Guy De Maupassant). And to my surprise she had told me it was merely paste! (138) You could not even imagine the look on my face! I was stunned when she took my hands and said to me "'Oh, my poor Mathilde! Why, my necklace was paste. It was worth at most five hundred francs!'" ( guy De Maupassant). I was astonished! Just to think all of those years of working. All because I did not want to tell her I had lost it.
