A reader might interpret this allusion to Scrooge as meaning that Miranda is extremely frugal and unwilling to spend money, despite being financially successful. The mention of Scrooge, a famously stingy character from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," suggests that Miranda is similarly tight-fisted with her earnings even when she could afford to be more generous or indulgent.
