Mrs. Gibbs confides in Mrs. Webb that she will be obtaining $350 dollars from selling an antique piece of furniture and that she would love to spend the money to either send Dr. Gibbs on a vacation or use it for she and her husband to travel to Paris. She has always dreamed of going to Paris but knows that if Dr. Gibbs had his way he would only want to go and see the civil war sites, as they always spend their vacations. It is made clear in this scene that men make call the decisions when it comes to money, even if it is the woman’s money. Mrs. Gibbs never gets to see Paris; she leaves the money to her son in her will. Another scene that shows how men make all the financial decisions is when George Gibbs asks for a raise in his allowance and his father is the one who must permit this, even though he originally asked his mother.
