feel the draught

[vil]

Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences?

“Did he go bust?”
“I don’t think so, Curtis. Must have felt the draught a bit.” (Marsch’s “Surfeit of Lampreys”, chapter VII)

feel the draught = been on edge; in strained circumstances

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V.
