The allusion to "Scrooge" in the quote suggests that Miranda is frugal and not very generous with her money. Therefore, the most appropriate interpretation would be:
**Miranda is not very generous with her money.**
This interpretation aligns with the character of Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," who is known for his miserly habits and reluctance to spend or share his wealth.
