The "Dillingham" had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being paid $30 per week. Now, when the income was shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming D. In the excerpt above, what can be inferred by the statement, "The Dillingham had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity."?

Jim felt important enough to place his full name on the mailbox when he enjoyed a higher income.

The mailbox was in disrepair now that Jim and Della had less money.

Jim and Della lamented that they could no longer afford to replace missing letters on the mailbox.

Jim and Della now desired a more modest lifestyle, without the formality of using his full name.
