The father in the story smokes a pipe. During this time period, people were unaware of the dangers of smoking. We have learned much since then. Surviving a physical disaster is followed by an emotional trauma, which is also difficult to survive. Pearl S. Buck lived at one time in a little Japanese house on a hillside above the sea, overlooking a small fishing village on the beach below. One summer a big wave came up and washed the village away.
