When Mr. Gibbs appears for breakfast on the morning of their son's wedding, his wife "puts a plate before him." He says, "Why, Julia Hersey--French toast!" She replies, "'Tain't hard to make and I had to do something."
Mrs. Gibbs has been unfit to rest amid the majority of the night and is loaded up with clashing feelings in the first part of the day. The coming wedding has made her dismal about losing her young child and the duty of thinking about him. She has been contemplating her own wedding and marriage, which obviously has made her consider how much her significant other intends to her. Starting now and into the foreseeable future she will turn a greater amount of her consideration on him since her child will have another lady to adore him and care for him. Mrs. Gibbs wouldn't like to discuss her sentiments since she is very nearly tears as of now. The French toast, which is clearly a most loved of her spouses is her method for revealing to him she cherishes him.
The quote mentions that this world is doing its best to change us and make us basic like everyone else, but by being nobody else BUT yourself is resisting the most powerful battle that you can fight.
