Passage: Line 8  “ That’s better, But I have to seriously query this word poor.”

I know understand that the second speaker was questioning what the first speaker considers to be “POOR”. The second speaker believes that poor is when you don’t have a home to sleep in and you have to sleep in cardboard. I totally agree with this statement because how poor can you be if you have a fireplace at your home.
