Mrs. Tuttle, newly back from a city visit, confronts abandonment fatigue and the strain of farm life. She urges husband Obed to hire a girl, cites a Bible verse about obstinacy, and gradually reveals her breaking point. After a tense confrontation and a late-night kitchen scene, she chooses to stay and maintain order, while a daughter’s presence adds a note of relief and humor to a grim portrait.
