Nathalia painted the vision so vividly that Mrs. Davidson was listening attentively and nodding her head now and then.
Mum's spending too much time thinking about the past and worrying about the future. She's not doing anything but living in her mind. That's probably why she's so sad. If we get her occupied, to actually start living life, to do something, then she might stop trapping herself in those sad thoughts. Nathalia thought.
When Mrs. Davidson suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be angry with Nathalia, she said discouragingly, "Huh, it's doomed to lose money."
She realized that her anger had faded and those thoughts were gone, at least for a while, and peace had returned to her mind. She's an odd girl. She thought and was amazed by Nathalia's optimism and how contagious it was.
Nathalia smiled triumphantly, thinking she seems to be tempted, hahaha. I'm sure mum will learn to love me again.
