Mme Loisel uttered a cry when she found that the necklace she had borrowed from her friend was no longer around her neck. Mr and Mme Loisel searched for it everywhere but in vain. They looked for it in the folds and the pockets but it was nowhere to be found. Mr Loisel event went back the way they had taken from the minister’s place to their house but there was no trace of the necklace. He went to the police the next day but his efforts yielded no fruit. They even gave an advertisement in the newspaper offering a reward to the one who finds it. Despite all their efforts, the necklace wasn’t found.
