Waste not, want not. She doesn't seem to have a morbid imagination at all. She doesn't have that kind of sensibility. A shawl is a shawl, a dress is a dress. You don't just throw something like that away.

It would be used for this and that, and when finally it can't hold anything anymore, it would be cut up into decorations. Grace is like a camera, she sees things so clearly. Then she has this sardonic side that she conceals.
