This story inspired a later story that opens with a woman saying “I’ve found a lot more things” to her cousin “the day after the second funeral.” In that story inspired by this story, a discovery in an old tin belonging to a deceased actress indirectly prompts Arthur Prime to lie to Charlotte. The plot of this story, whose opening line describes its protagonist as a “pretty” girl born “by a mistake of destiny” into a “family of clerks,” was reversed in a story by (*) Henry (10[1])James. In this story, money set aside for a (10[1])gun is instead used to buy a dress for a ball at the Ministry (10[1])of Education, after which a woman probably mislays an object in a cab. The Loisels (“l’wah-ZELZ”) endure ten years of poverty in this story before Madame Forestier (“foh-REST-ee-ay”) reveals that the title object wasn’t made of diamonds. For 10 points, name this story by Guy de Maupassant (“GEE duh MOH-pass-ohn”) about a piece of jewellery. ■END■
