Surely they’ll see her point and begin paying her. After all, it’s hard to find scintillating material like she writes without picking up a free matchbook or stealing a 4th grader’s diary.
The old double standard rears its ugly head again. Musicians, ministers, writers, etc. should “do it for the love of it” and not expect a salary, although many benefit from their services. Yet just ask a typical 9 to 5-er to “do it for the love of it” and watch the howls of indignation.
Assuming Elly gets turned down regarding future payment for her work at the newspaper . . . whether she “quits” or gets “fired”, at least she won’t be any worse off in the money department than she is right now!

Spoiler Alert
If I remember right, they not only turn down her request, but were thinking of asking her to write a second column.

You’ll always find work -if you’re willing to work cheap.

Ah the old more money or I walk tactic……most of the time that leads to the unemployment line.

I’m just writing for the love of it. I’m using the gift I was given for the Lord.
