In this short war story, Helen R. Hull sets the quiet of a household against the emotional absence left by war. Mary listens to the familiar sounds of work outside while ordinary rooms and duties acquire a different weight.
The story develops through domestic detail and the tension between outward activity and private feeling. This is the complete work published in the December 1918 issue of The Touchstone, retaining its original prose rather than expanding it with unrelated material.
