What are the various members of the Reid household staff doing upon Frank's arrival home after collecting his children at the station master's home?

When Frank arrives home with the children, almost all the household staff members appear to be laughing and excited. Dunyasha, whose role is to assist Nellie with the Reid children, is the only member who is absent. She is being criticized and wishes to terminate her employment. She approaches Frank to request her internal passport, allowing her to travel more than fifteen miles.
