A woman can say more in a sigh than a man can say in a sermon. - Arnold Haultain
In the story, the wife's character is very womanly. She is over-protective and defensive to the blind man.
The wife had to pick up Robert at the train depot. She was excited and anxious to finally meet Robert after ten years. They had kept in touch for ten years and now they will meet again. Maybe it would be more exciting if the wife and Robert had a relationship in the past, it will make the aura between the three of them blazing.
When they arrived at the house, the wife was very accommodating. Maybe it was because she felt that Robert needs to be comforted or maybe she just liked the guy for being what he is. And so, there they were. Even though her husband seemed not interested in meeting Robert, she had to introduce him to Robert and so on and so forth for the sake of formality or whatever.
Then, what makes it worse was when her husband asked Robert which side on the train was he on. It was very irritating to her and also made her feel that her husband was being disrespectful. And then when he was about to burst out, her husband suddenly invited Robert to have a drink. Maybe the wife thought that at last her husband did something good at that time.
Throughout the story, the wife was acting very peculiar to a woman. During the part where Robert and her husband was drawing the cathedral, I think it would be better if the wife realized that they are getting along pretty fine with each other, that she is the one being rude to Robert, and that here defensiveness with him seemed like an insult to him.
