Hester was away , or , of course , this would never have happened .<br>She had gone for a month 's visit to distant friends .<br>In that month I lived a lifetime .<br>Hugh Blair courted me as the other girls in Newbridge were courted .<br>He took me out driving and came to see me in the evenings , which we spent for the most part in the garden .<br>I did not like the stately gloom and formality of our old Meredith parlor , and Hugh never seemed to feel at ease there .<br>His broad shoulders and hearty laughter were oddly out of place among our faded , old-maidish furnishings .
The Meredith parlor was depressing for the narrator.
The narrator states they don't like the stately gloom, and as gloom is relatable to sadness the context supports the fact that the parlor depressed the narrator. The system might have tripped over the use of the word depressing.
