In the short story "The Necklace", what is the most likely reason Madame Forestier gets annoyed when Madame Loisel returns the necklace late, knowing...

Madame
Forestier is depicted as an affluent friend of Mathilde Loisel, who seems relatively generous by
allowing her friend to borrow her imitation diamond necklace for an evening.

When Mathilde Loisel initially visits Madame Forestier's home, she looks through her
extensive jewelry collection and is not quite pleased until she spots the imitation diamond
necklace. Judging by Madame Forestier's extensive jewelry collection, one could surmise that she
is a relatively materialistic woman. The fact that she does not initially show Mathilde the
necklace suggests that she values it more than her other pieces of jewelry and is less willing
to let her borrow it.

Unfortunately, Mathilde loses the necklace, purchases
an authentic look-alike, and returns it to Madame Forestier three days later. When she returns
the necklace, Madame Forestier is annoyed and says,

You
should have returned it sooner, I might have needed it. (Maupassant, 11)

One could surmise that Madame Forestier is annoyed that Mathilde
did not return her necklace sooner because it is one of her favorite pieces of jewelry and she
may have planned on wearing it. Although the necklace is an imitation, Madame Forestier is
apparently a woman who values material objects and cannot stand to have one of her possessions
missing. She may have also thought Mathilde stole the necklace and is upset at the thought of
her friend betraying her.

The most likely reason Madame Forestier is annoyed
at Mathilde concerns the fact that she probably values the necklace more than her other pieces
of jewelry.
