[00:13.74]Scene 1

[00:16.61]A park in Paris,1870.Jeanne(J) is sitting in the park.

[00:23.98]Mathilde(M) walks towards 2 her.

[00:28.34]Good afternoon,Jeanne.

[00:31.58](Looking at the other woman) I'm sorry,but I don't think I know you.

[00:38.22]In fact 3 you do.Many years ago we knew each other very well.

[00:44.15]I'm Mathilde Loisel.

[00:47.52]Mathilde!Oh yes.Sorry,I didn't recognize 5 you.

[00:54.28]Where have you been all these years,Mathilde?

[00:58.23]I hope 6 you weren't ill.You don't look very well.

[01:03.66]No,Jeanne,I wasn't ill.I know I look older than my age now.

[01:10.11]That's because of hard work-ten years of hard work.

[01:15.89]I'm sorry,Mathilde.Have times been hard for you?

[01:20.74]Yes,very hard.Years of hard word,very little food,

[01:28.40]only a small cold room to live in and never a moment's rest.

[01:34.43]Mathilde!I didn't know.I'm sorry.But what happened?

[01:41.28]I don't know if I should tell you.But I will.

[01:46.14]It was 7 all because of your necklace,your beautiful diamond 8 necklace.My necklace?

[01:53.89]Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago

[01:58.54]when I came 9 to your house and borrowed 11 a necklace of yours?

[02:04.32]Pierre my husband,was working in a government 12 office.

[02:09.46]We'd been invited 13 to a ball at the palace 14 so I needed to borrow 10 some jewellery 15.

[02:16.62]Scene 2

[02:27.49]The home of Mathilde and Pierre(P) Loisel,ten years before.

[02:33.76]Mathilde!I've got 16 some wonderful news 17.

[02:38.80]We've been invited to the ball at the palace.

[02:43.34]Really?I can't believe 19 it.

[02:47.89]But it's true 20.I was the only person 21 in my office who was invited.

[02:54.45]I've written to accept 22 the invitation 23.

[02:58.49]Oh,Pierre,how wonderful!But I don't think we can go.

[03:04.66]I haven't got an evening dress for the ball!

[03:08.60]And a new dress costs 25 over four hundred francs.

[03:13.96]Four hundred!That's a lot of money.

[03:18.82]But,just this once.After all,this ball is very important 26.

[03:25.17]But there's another thing.Pierre.I have no jewellery to wear.

[03:30.31]Does that matter?Can't you just wear a flower instead 27?

[03:36.19]No,I couldn't do that.Everybody 29 else will be wearing jewellery.

[03:42.64]I can't be the only woman who isn't wearing jewellery.

[03:47.81]Why don't you borrow some?

[03:51.37]Do you have a friend who might 30 lend 31 you some?

[03:55.42]Let me think.Maybe I could 28 ask Jeanne.

[04:00.67]She married 32 a man with a lot of money.

[04:04.64]I'll go and see her on Friday after I get the new dress.

[04:09.89]Lesson 70   Reading   THE NECKLACE(2)

[04:21.96]Scene 3

[04:24.83]In the park,Mathilde continuses to tell Jeanne her story.

[04:30.99]So I called on you and asked if I could borrow some jewellery.

[04:37.24]Do you remember now?  Yes,I remember.

[04:41.89]You were very kind.

[04:45.05]You brought 33 out all your jewellery

[04:49.02]and you told me I could take anything I wanted.

[04:53.56]There were so many beautiful things that it was hard to choose.

[04:58.92]And then I saw 34 a lovely diamond necklace with a big blue stone in the centre 35.

[05:05.79]I remember.You trid it on and it looked wonderful on you.

[05:12.56]I'm sure you looked beautiful that evening.

[05:17.00]You were always a pretty girl.

[05:20.97]Perhaps in those days I was.

[05:24.73]Pierre and I did 4 have a very good time at the ball.

[05:29.59]But that was the last momen t of happiness 36 in our lives.

[05:34.34]That night everything changed.

[05:38.00]Why?What happened?

[05:41.45]On our way home that night

[05:44.92]I looked down and saw that the necklace was not around my neck any more.

[05:50.20]I told Pierre.We rushed 37 back to the palace and looked for it.

[05:56.44]We asded everyone there if they had 38 found 39 a necklace,but without luck 40.

[06:02.40]We couldn't find it;it was lost.

[06:06.84]But I don't understand.

[06:10.31]You returned 41 the necklace to me the next afternoon.

[06:15.35]I remember very well.

[06:18.91]Yes,Jeanne,I brought a necklace to you

[06:23.87]It was exactly 42 like your necklace,but it was a different one.

[06:29.43]It cost 24 us thirty-six thousand francs.

[06:34.40]Thirty-six thousand francs!

[06:39.12]Pierre and I borrowed the money and bought the necklace.

[06:44.17]During the next ten years we both worded day and night to pay 43 back the money we had borrowed.

[06:51.92]That's why I now look so old.

[06:55.97]Well,after all these years we've at last paid 44 back all the money.

[07:02.14]My dear friend,Mathilde.Let me tell you something.

[07:08.17]That necklace you borrowed from me wasn't real 18 diamond necklace.

[07:14.21]It wasn't valuable 45 at all.

[07:17.84]The stones in the necklace were made 46 of glass.

[07:22.49]It was worth five hundred francs at the most
