As well as toiling away at home, performing a never-ending series of chores, Eveline has a regular job. She works as a shopgirl at the Stores. We don't find out an awful lot about Eveline's employment, but what little we do know would appear to suggest that she's not very happy there. Her supervisor is a woman by the name of Miss Gavan, who always seems to be bossing Eveline around, reminding her that there are ladies in the store waiting to be served and telling her to look lively.
Eveline thinks that when her work colleagues find out she's about to run off to Buenos Aires, they'll probably think she's a fool. In any case, she won't be missed, and her place will easily be filled by placing an advert in the local newspaper.
