This is because she is feeling the footsteps of the thugs and also is able to think about their behaviour or character.

The theme of Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem "Helen Grey" is, beauty isn't everything. We know this to be true because the Rossetti describes Helen Grey as "handsome" and "proud" but also says "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all." This shows the reader that Helen Grey is very attractive and takes pride in her attraction. However, she has let her beauty go to her head, resulting in an unpleasant personality that no man has found her attractive. The last four lines of the poem "Helen Grey" support the its main theme by drawing the reader's attention to the reality of age and time. Time will continue to go by causing Helen to grow old, wrinkly, and gray. Time will pass and with it, Helen's beauty shall pass too. If she does not change her ways, she will be left with and unattractive personality, and face.
I have found the lines and the options for this question from another source. Allow me to paste them here.
LINES:
1. Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burned is Apollo's laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man.
2. Swoll'n with cunning of a self-conceit, His waxen wings did mount above his reach, And melting heavens conspired his overthrow.
3. Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!-- Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena. I will be Paris, and for love of thee,
OPTIONS:
A. Icarus and Daedalus (characters in Greek mythology who invented a way to fly)
B. The Trojan War
C. A symbol of fame and reward, belonging to the god of divination
LINE #1:
This line alludes to (C) a symbol of fame and reward, belonging to the god of divination.
Apollo, the god of divination, wears a laurel crown. This laurel is bestowed to those who were victorious or those who demonstrated honor. In ancient Greece, the laurel was also awarded to victors in athletic and poetic competitions. "Laurel" was explicitly mentioned in this line.
LINE #2
This second line refers to (A) Icarus and Daedalus, who were characters in Greek mythology who invented a way to fly.
"Waxen wings" alludes to the tragic tale of Icarus and Daedalus, where Daedalus tried to build wings made of wax for himself and his son, Icarus, to escape the island Crete. Unfortunately, Icarus flew too close to the sun that the wax melted and he descended to the sea where he met his death.
LINE #3
This line mentions Helen and Paris which were key figures of (B) the Trojan War.
The infamous abduction of Helen by Paris directly resulted into the decade-long Trojan War. Helen, who was then married to King Menelaus of Sparta, was influenced by Aphrodite to come with Paris to Troy. This greatly angered King Menelaus, who enlisted the help of the Greek army to get her back.
