pg 67 L 3
"a gaze that made her heart shrink..... cold"
This line shows how Helen is still scared from her husband, and does not know him well although they had spent years together. this might help us to understand that of course there was no love in the relatioship, since one should feel safe in the other's eyes and that the reticent man kept many secrets for himself, making Hester scared of the things he might hide.
Helen - you mean "Hester"?
