what meaning of self-possession thin the text below?
The callers were greeted with kindly dignity by Mrs.Robinson. She looked pale and thin but had the same "self-possession" she had always shown at Tower Mansion?

Exactly as this definition explains it:

I don't know the context, but I guess something traumatic or unfortunate may have happened to Mrs Robinson. Yet she is still in control of herself.
The phrase we use is, "to be in possession of your full mental and physical capacity."
