not sure but..

I think "send for my things" was a rich and privileged thing, meaning it would be like some rich lady saying that and then a servant would go back to her home to get her trunk because it would either make her like improper (unladylike) or poor.

"Send for my family" would mean asking someone else to bring your family to you. Like asking someone to send for the doctor, sending for your family would get them brought to wherever you were.

Just my thoughts though.

Does anyone understand "A rolling stone gathers no moss"? I would, but I am not sure - is the moss a good thing or a bad thing? Is it trying to gather moss or not?
