"no las tenía todas consigo" ?
What is meant by the bolded phrase? I get that they're saying Ana doesn't feel the same and am guessing this is an expression of sorts?
"—Vendrá. Tranquila —se decía a sí misma. Ana, por el contrario, no las tenía todas consigo y suspiraba cada vez con mayor fuerza."

Oh, Rusty replied before I posted this, but one more answer won't harm, I guess.
 You are right, this is a set phrase. In this context, it means to have doubts, or to be afraid of something.
