The Great Ruby Robbery

This is a very clever and funny short mystery about the theft of a ruby necklace. Who took it? Was it the gentleman who paid more attention to the necklace than the lady the evening before? Or could it be the stoically silent maid who needed the money? Or could it be someone else? You decide! And while you are trying to make up your mind, enjoy the tongue-in-cheek narration.
