Read the excerpt from "A Pair of Silk Stockings."

The question of investment was one that occupied her greatly. For a day or two she walked about apparently in a dreamy state, but really absorbed in speculation and calculation. She did not wish to act hastily, to do anything she might afterward regret.

She is very eager to spend the money on a series of desired items.

She wants to spend the money in the most responsible way possible.

She is inclined to save the money, in case of a later emergency.
