What does Esperanza say when asked what it was like to be rich.
Esperanza says, "I am still rich, Isabel. We will only be here until Abuelita is well enough to travel. Then she will come with her money and we will but a big house. A house that Papa would have been proud for us to live in. Maybe we will buy two houses so that Hortensia, Alfonso, and Miguel can live in one and work for us again. And you can visit us, Isabel. You see this is only temporary. We will not be here for long."
