Maupassant also uses irony, which is when what you expect to happen is the opposite of what actually happens, and this is the driving force behind the surprise ending. It's ironic that the necklace is fake because Mathilde and her husband went into such debt to replace it.

Skip to My Lou is a popular children's song. Skip to My (The) Lou was a popular American partner-stealing dance from the 1840s.
"Skip to My Lou" is a simple game of stealing partners (or swapping partners as in square dancing). It begins with any number of couples skipping hand in hand around in a ring.
