When my cousins come to visit, we put an extra leaf in the table to make it bigger.
Problem: Cousins coming to visit = more people to fit in the desk
Solution: putting an extra leaf
Eery, spooky, quiet, silent, daunting, bristling, creaking
In the story, it's written that she has drowned a young girl. But it's not an actual winning, rather than it convey that the woman usually see a young girl in the reflection but as she got older, she couldn't see the beautiful reflection anymore.
So i think the most appropriate answer would be : Realized that she must forget the past
hope this helps
