A reader might interpret this allusion to Scrooge as meaning that Miranda was very frugal and careful with her money, even when she was making a lot of profit. The comparison suggests that Miranda was extremely cautious and thrifty in managing her finances, similar to how the character Scrooge from "A Christmas Carol" was known for being miserly and stingy.
