Ellen is longing for her husband because they had argued bitterly both the day before and that morning at breakfast. She wants him with her, to be assured by his strength, even though she knows he would act aloof, still holding against her the angered words she had flung at him earlier that day.
The Lamp at Noon
This is a love that has not yet died out and is endured inside by a small fire.
