Mr. Loisel wanted too see her happy so with his extra money that he was saving up for a gun he gave to his wife to buy a new frock. She went out and bought one.

Then she goes over to her house and asks if it's all right if she could borrow her jewelry for one night and she said that is fine so she picked out a necklace and wore it to the party.

Forestier and she couldn't tell that it was hers or not so she said thank you. It took Mr. Loisel 10 years to pay it off then Mme. Loisel meets her on the street and tells her what happened with that necklace and she said that "mine was worth not more than 500 francs at most!".
