The narrator describes Mrs. Mallard as, "young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength." This means that she has youth yet the lines on her face show that she holds much stress, presumably about her marriage, inside of her.

The kind, tender hands” of Mr. Mallard who had “never looked save with love upon her.” (meaning that he always looked lovingly at her.) Why is this reference to Mallard and their seeming relationship important?
