I believe in this section Edna is confused while hurt at the same time. Instead of Robert telling Edna about his departure to Mexico while they were talking all morning, she is told at dinner. Many people are telling her about the news. She is so astounded by Robert's plans that she only ask what time he will be leaving. When Robert finally comes to see Edna, he cannot give her a date of when he will be returning. I think Robert does not want to express how much he loves and cares for Edna, thus, is cutting himself short of the information he gives her because he does not want to hurt her anymore that he has by leaving.
Edna is thinking about Robert non-stop it seems like. Almost everyone can tell that Edna misses Robert terribly, even Mr. Pontellier. When she finds out that Léonce saw Robert in New Orleans on his way to Mexico, she continues to ask questions after questions about the two men seeing each other.
Also, in this section we are reintroduced to the lady in black and the two lovers. They were mentioned together each time one was talked about in this particular section.
