Meaning
Hello friends,
Could you please confirm me on the meaning of bold part?
Secretly, she watched her father eat his breakfast. He managed the cumbersome tableware as if it were its normal size and shape. She stole a glance at his face and saw it covered with white stubble. If he had a beard it would be white, but his hair’s just turning and his eyebrows are still jet. Uncle Jack’s already white to his forehead, and Aunty’s gray all over. When I begin to go, where will I start? Why am I thinking these things?
My interpretation: she meant, when her hair would be white and from which part of her hair it would be started (or when her hair is turning white where she would be).
Thank you for your time.
