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: "Oh, spare me your moral indignation. You never gave a damn what I
did as long as I paid the bills. And you know I've been no angel
recently. And as for you being my wife--you haven't been much of a
wife since Bonnie came, have you? You've been a poor investment,
Scarlett. Belle's been a better one."
"Investment? You mean you gave her--?"
"'Set her up in business' is the correct term, I believe. Belle's
a smart woman. I wanted to see her get ahead and all she needed
was money to start a house of her own. You ought to know what
miracles a woman can perform when she has a bit of cash. Look at
yourself."
