Oh dear--something told me I should have gone into more detail--sorry. No, she had decided a.) that the lives of a group of apparently impoverished women needed improving and b.) that she knew how this could/should be done. They had other ideas.

Her mental regrouping consisted of taking the time to think through what had gone wrong and why, and what changes she needed to make in her next attempt. (Which I hope for her sake was a different group: allegedly one of them poisoned her.)

I gather that her subsequent "attack with patience" mode meant that she had pushed too hard and too fast in the first attempt.
