The Nylon is extremely popular in the store, pulling Eilis all day into the work. This is one difference between Brooklyn and her home in Ireland: the population. On the other hand, when Eilis presents the pair of stockings to Mrs. Kehoe, the old woman doesn’t seem to understand that it’s a gift and is willing to pay for it. I think that’s because it’s too costly in her view, or a difference of mindset between them.

At the start of the book, I feel like Eilis is very fortunate, having received so much help from around, which enables her to settle down in Brooklyn conveniently. Between chapters, Toibin doesn’t directly show how Eilis felt when she first arrived, but when she commutes from her apartment to work after 3 weeks. I think Toibin wants to make a contrast and combine her first feeling and her understanding.
