"she could sew the veil on properly in the morning", according to this sentence,"in the morning" doesn't mean "this morning", then, when was she expected to finish her sewing?

dennislv @dennislv (134) • Shanghai, China 11 Oct 13

I know "in the morning" is not the same as "this morning". "She could" here suggests an uncertain tense. However, I prefer it a subjunctive use. If so,then "in the morning" can be "tomorrow morning"? What is it talking about?
