Review this passage from the end of Kate Chopin's story "A Pair of Silk Stockings."
A man with keen eyes, who sat opposite to her, seemed to like the study of her small, pale face. It puzzled him to decipher what he saw there. In truth, he saw nothing--unless he were wizard enough to detect a poignant wish, a powerful longing that the cable car would never stop anywhere, but go on and on with her forever.
What does this quote say about Mrs. Sommers' future and what she would prefer it to be?

b) She doesn't want to have to explain to her children where the money went.
