Broke? As in — penniless? As in — having no money? Is that even possible? Adella smothers the thought before her mind swings too far along the way towards poverty, before she imagines herself begging in the streets like he’s certain to be doing now, with only a trench coat for a best friend and no precious family jewels to call your own. Not a single one! She cannot, cannot, bear the crushing weight of a life that miserable, and the soft puckering of her features prove it. You’d think she was imagining her own death.
“I’ll defraud you all I want!” she gasped, gracelessly kicking his shoe. “And for your valuable information, church mice do pretty well for themselves, actually. You don’t know anything, nothing, and I’m too clever to listen to all that propaganda. There’s no such thing as having no money.”
