- Celia cares for her aunt Hannah and recalls childhood sacrifice after her father's death and the family's financial fall.
- Her modest job pays little, but her loyalty drives her longing to rescue Aunt Hannah from being a burden.
Act On Immediate Needs, Not Future Fears
- When a need appears, act promptly and practically rather than waiting and worrying.
- Celia uses her small skills and supplies to relieve Mrs. Morris and trusts daily strength rather than anxiety.
