Explanation:

Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour" tells the story of how Mrs. Mallard react to the news of her husband's death and the 'unconventional' way of her reaction to this 'misfortune'.

The passage provided in the text shows how she react to the news of her husband's accident, leading her to have a feeling of something happening in her. This "creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air" made her fearfully wait fro what is to come but she is also hopeful and looking forward to whatever is coming. We could also deduce that this 'upcoming event' is a positive thing for her for we see her eagerly "waiting for it" though fearfully, for it is still a mystery of what's to come. This passage shows that she is frightened but at the same time ready for a change in her life with the death of Mr. Mallard.
