The Necklace
How was Matilda changed? Why?
Cutting down all the household expenses, Matilda had to work very hard all the day. She sent away the maid and did all the household chores herself. They changed their lodgings and rented some rooms in an attic. In the course of paying her debts, Matilda became old, poor and crude. She clothed like the women of butchers' and grocers'. Her hands became red and coarse. She became an ordinary and unattractive woman who spoke in a loud tone.
