- With the money they saved they built a two-story mansion with balconies and gardens and high netting so that crabs wouldn’t get in during the winter, and with iron bars on the windows so that angels wouldn’t get in
- Story show a example how is the human response to those who are weak, dependent, and different. There are moments of striking cruelty and callousness throughout the story.
