I know this isn't much of a prediction, but ... In ch. 3 after Mr. Norris dies she rejects the idea of Fanny coming to live with her, or the idea that it would be comfort. She must live in solitude and can't be as liberal with her money as she used to be. *snort

Fanny live with me! the last thing in the world for me to think of, or for anybody to wish that really knows us both. Good heaven! what could I do with Fanny? Me! a poor, helpless, forlorn widow, unfit for anything, my spirits quite broke down;

that she could not help feeling dreadful presentiments; and as the long evenings of autumn came on, was so terribly haunted by these ideas, in the sad solitariness of her cottage, as to be obliged to take daily refuge in the dining–room of the Park.

She saved from solitude by being needed for the play, was able to move in. Not only did she save them 3/4 of a yard of green baize, she made off with the whole curtain when the hopes of the play ended. :D
