To explore a new career opportunity

To escape her father's violence and start anew

To find a better home for her siblings

To attend school abroad

She boards the ship with Frank

She decides to stay behind

She changes her mind at the last moment

She tells Frank she needs more time

Her love for Frank

Her sense of duty and fear of the unknown

Her job responsibilities

Her health issues

Freedom and happiness

Her mother's wisdom

Her fear of change

Her mother's despair and sacrifice

Excited anticipation

Overwhelming sadness

Tiredness and nostalgia

Joyful reminiscence

She loves her job

She feels indifferent

She dislikes it due to Miss Gavan's treatment

She finds it exciting and challenging

To get married

To leave home

To keep the home together as long as she could

To travel the world

Relieved and happy

Anxious and fearful

Confident and resolved

Passive and helpless

Losing her job

Being judged by the community

Her father's well-being

The safety of the two young children

As a serious commitment

As an exciting adventure

As a temporary distraction

As a way to make her father angry
