Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a necklace of yours? Pierre, my husband, was working in a government office. We'd been invited to a ball at the palace so I needed to borrow some jewellery.
Pierre and I borrowed the money and bought the necklace. During the next ten years we both worked day and night to pay back the money we had borrowed. That's why I now look so old. Well, after all these years we've at last paid back all the money.
