Quote #4
She had consented to go away, to leave her home. Was that wise? She tried to weigh each side of the question. (Eveline.5)
All those lists of pros and cons don't ever work, do they? The choice between staying the course and escaping to freedom usually comes down to a split-second decision, as it does for our Eveline.

But that's just what she chooses a few lines later. The question is why?
