Mathilde had to take jobs and work harder than she ever had. The hard work and sacrifice reflected in her face and her daily actions.
Madame Loisel looked old now. She had become like all the other strong, hard, coarse women of poor households. Her hair was badly done, her skirts were awry, her hands were red. She spoke in a shrill voice, and the water slopped all over the floor when she scrubbed it.
