The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: "I think it's wonderful," said Scarlett shortly. "I only wish we'd
had 'paying guests' at Tara for the last year instead of free
boarders. Maybe we wouldn't be so poor now."
"Scarlett, how can you say such things? Your poor mother must be
turning in her grave at the very thought of charging money for the
hospitality of Tara! Of course, Mrs. Elsing was simply forced to
it because, while she took in fine sewing and Fanny painted china
and Hugh made a little money peddling firewood, they couldn't make
ends meet. Imagine darling Hugh forced to peddle wood! And he all
set to be a fine lawyer! I could just cry at the things our boys
are reduced to!"
