Answer 1

A reader might interpret this allusion as Miranda being very frugal with her money, just like the character Scrooge from A Christmas Carol who was known for being very stingy and not spending money. This shows that even though Miranda was making a lot of money, she still chose to save and not splurge on unnecessary things.
