At the conclusion of "A Visit of Charity", Marian runs to meet the bus and casually eats an apple.
"A Visit of Charity" is a short story written by Eudora Welty in 1941. It tells the story of Marian, a teenager that has to do community service and decides to visit a home for the elderly, where she shares a conversation with two women. At the end of the story, she leaves the nursery home, she takes a bus and eats an apple while travelling home. This implies that Marian's visit to the nursery home was not an act of charity, but an action carried out to gain points. The bite from the apple indicates that she is satisfied with what she has done to gain more points.
