something strange

[Vega]

Dollars! All their cares, hopes, joys, seemed to be melted down into dollars...

Do you know what does that mean and when it is said? Thanks.

[Krisi]

No. :)

Do you have any idea?

[Krisi]

Thanks Ohad!

Sounds to me they were only interested in money, or money ruled their lives... Something like that.

Oh thank so much for your comments!

"Martin thought this an uncomfortable custom, but he kept his opinion to himself for the present, being anxious to hear, and inform himself by, the conversation of the busy gentlemen . . . .
It was rather barren of interest, to say the truth; and the greater part of it may be summed up in one word. Dollars. All their cares, hopes, joys, affections, virtues, and associations, seemed to be melted down into dollars. Whatever the chance contributions that fell into the slow cauldron of their talk, they made the gruel thick and slab with dollars. Men were weighed by their dollars, measures gauged by their dollars; life was auctioneered, appraised, put up, and knocked down for its dollars. The next respectable thing to dollars was any venture having their attainment for its end. The more of that worthless ballast, honour and fair-dealing, which any man cast overboard from the ship of his Good Name and Good Intent, the more ample stowage-room he had for dollars. Make commerce one huge lie and mighty theft. Deface the banner of the nation for an idle rag; pollute it star by star; and cut out stripe by stripe as from the arm of a degraded soldier. Do anything for dollars! What is a flag to them!"

That's very helpful, thanks. I shall read that and try to come the meaning from the context.

Thank you very much for replies once again.
