Necklace Day10

The next day they took the empty case to the jeweller's (/ˈdʒuːələ/ 珠宝商) whose name they found inside the lid (/ lɪd/盖子). He consulted (/kənˈsʌlt/查阅) his books.

“We did not sell the necklace. We only supplied the case.”

They went from jeweller to jeweler, searching for a necklace like the one they had lost. At last, in a shop at the Palais Royal they found a diamond necklace exactly like Madame Forestier's. The price was forty thousand francs. The jeweller agreed to sell it for thirty-six.

They begged him not to sell it for three days, and they got him to promise that he would buy it back for thirty-four thousand francs, in case (以防) they should find the lost necklace by the end of February.
