A reader might interpret Miranda's comparison to Scrooge as meaning that she was very frugal and conservative with her money, even when she was successful. This comparison suggests that Miranda was very stingy and cautious when it came to spending her earnings, similar to the character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" who was known for his extreme thriftiness.
