Answer: racial upheaval and violence.

The phrase "pay the bill" refers to paying for one's own expenses. However, in this case, the phrase refers to making up for a mistake, or facing the consequences of one's actions. By saying that someone would have to "pay the bills," the character implies that there has been some bad action and that someone will pay for it. This most likely refers to some act between blacks and whites, and the payment will most likely come in the way of violence.

A
Not correct. She could have been using references to anything. Not all her references are from literature. Southern Bitter Wormwood is a reference to the wormwood plant which is medicinal in nature and it is very bitter. 

C
Maybe. But there's a better answer. It's not her personality we are drawn to although it is quite bubbly if this passage is any kind of indication. It is the joy she takes in recognizing that Beowulf likes a good drink and he  wanted her to join him and she was delighted by the invitation.

D
She could have been talking about anything that engaged her. It just happened to be mostly about the classics.

B
This is the best answer. C and D are close, but it really is B that we are attracted to. We have our eyes opened to the grand people in books. More than that we feel her joy in Beowulf, her polite tea conversation with Oliver Twist, her astonishing acceptance of the meaning of Sydney Carton's statement at the end of a Tale of Two Cities.
