How did Madame Loisel respond to her husband's invitation to the evening reception at the Ministry of Education?

Madame Loisel threw the invitation at him.... rather than being thrilled as he had expected, she was angry because she had nothing new to wear.

Instead of being delighted, as her husband had hoped, she threw the invitation on the table resentfully, and muttered:

"What do you want me to do with that?"
