"Calixta was preparing supper. She had set the table and was dripping coffee at the hearth. She sprang up as they came in"
This quote in significant because it plays into the role of women in the time period this story as well as the story The Revolt of "Mother". In during this time women were inferior to men they were left home and their sole purpose was to take care of the house and children. They were not able to work outside the home and own land. This quote shows how even after a revolt such as an affair the women return to that of what they have always done take care of the men. This is shown by how the women after cheating on her husband a "revolt" still prepares him dinner and waits for him to return home to eat.
