"we're broke!"His voice thundered like well,thunder.All the guests to this party stopped.Did Mr Theomin seriously say he was broke?Awkward silence filled the air as the great boom of his voice quietened down.Suddenly a shrill,sharp,ear-wrenching voice started up."Broke,What about your ancestors great fortune?"the man said."Monsieur Jacqiun,I do believe I have absolutely no idea what your talking about".Mr Theomin said in a quieter,regaller more calm and polite voice."Do you not know that your wife bless her soul,left behind a great ruby of magnificent value hidden somewhere in your great house".Mr Theomin's ear perked up at the sound of this.He bid his guests farewell and as soon as they left he simply slumped to the ground,exhausted.
