Which sentence in this excerpt from james joyce's "araby" indicates that the bazaar is a place devoted to avarice, or greed?
i could not find any sixpenny entrance and, fearing that the bazaar would be closed, i passed in quickly through a turnstile, handing a shilling to a weary-looking man. (i found myself in a big hall girded at half its height by a gallery). nearly all the stalls were closed and the greater part of the hall was in darkness. (i recognized a silence like that which pervades a church after a service). (i walked into the centre of the bazaar timidly). a few people were gathered about the stalls which were still open. before a curtain, over which the words café chantant were written in coloured lamps, two men were counting money on a salver. (i listened to the fall of the coins.)

jenkins wanted the narrator to write a ghost story for his magazine. he wanted the narrator to give the readers a story based on the supernatural. he wanted him to give the readers real 'horror' stories and not the type of live ghosts which he had presented in his earlier stories.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
