The story is about tension between a married couple who are traveling. Mansfield alternates points of view in between the husband and the wife. The beginning is the wife. She is blaming her husband for making them miss the train. The husband takes over when he thinks about how she would be buried with her things. Take note to the scenery that Mansfield talks about, like the sea (symbolic of freedom and loneliness) and the tree ( the colors mansifeld uses make it seem like the tree is peaceful and heaven like). To put it short and sweet: reread the story and think about it like a quarrell between a married couple.
