MMe Forestier. It is a counterfeit wearing copy. She smugly does not inform social-climbing Mme Loisel ( la-zell it was pronounced when I had this in English) that it is a wearing copy. she loses it at the ball- exactly how is not stated- a phone call could have saved about sixty grand and a nose-dive into debt slavery and relative poverty.
Mme Loisell, who borrows the thing from her (friend) Mme Forestier- which means Forester. Parks would not be a bad translation. In a sense MMe Forestier is the antagonist, though fatal pride- and maybe alcohol played a role. I think she ( Loisell) was drunk when she lost the necklace at the party.. and waited too long to report it... that would explain why she did not call up MMe Forestier when she first noticed the item ( which she believed to be worth 60 Grand plus) was missing.

In Guy de Maupassant's short story, "The Necklace" (1884), it is Mme. Loisel, the one who borrowed and lost the necklace, who recognizes Mme. Forestier. This meeting sets up the twist ending.
Madame Forestier said in a faintly waspish tone: You could have brought it back sooner! I might have needed it! Basically she was not happy with how long it took for Mme. Losiel to bring back a necklace.
She wants her to see what despair and trouble that necklace had cost her and want her to feel guilty but in the end she get a suprise #Sabrina
Mr. and Mrs. Loisel, Mme Forestier ( owner of the necklace, who loans it out for Mme Loisel"s one night stand) miscellanous walk-on characters, people at the party, cab driver, etc. at no time did she have the common sense of calling up her friend and simply recounting everything that happened- which would have avoided much ( toil and trouble, not to mention money loss) The basic premise of a lost article figures in such social commentary tales as The Overcoat ( all of the money was Confederate), and watered down or turnabout plots, such as the (Super Car) a Detroit Dream car that figured in a plot in Bewitched and thanks to some Magic, was resolved happily- the car was returned to the Detroit custom shop where it was made, and the advertising executive ( who was driving the car when transmuted back to Detroit- seized on the idea of using it as an advertising prop ( he was selling sausages) it came out well, unlike the Necklace tale. listen folks- Observe and Heed article Nine from the Guy Upstairs....
Mme. Forestier's reaction when the necklace was returned was one of anger. She was not pleased that it took so long to get back because she may have needed to wear it sooner.
The main woman character is Madame Loisel. The minor woman character is Mme. Forestier.
Mathilde goes up to Mme. Forstier after 10 years of saving money to pay back for the necklace. Mme. Forstier doen't recognize her at first and Mathilde tells Mme. Forstier what she went through to pay her debt. Ironically, Mme. Forstier tells Mathilde that the necklace was fake and worth 500 frances...
Efforts to find Mme Forestier's necklace were made by searching the entire city, retracing her steps from the party, interviewing potential witnesses, and offering a reward for any information leading to its discovery. The police and private investigators were also involved in the search.
She is no longer concerned about appearing rich and beautiful.
