I am reading W. Trevor shortstory. The girl was being fond of a guy - Sebastian. However she married with another. At the wedding,
"At her wedding she had guessed they would lose touch, and in turn he had probably guessed that that was, sensibly, what she wanted. Sebastian, who had never honoured much, honoured that. When marriage occurs, the past clams up, lines are drawn beneath a sub-total.".
In the phrase, I do not understand two points which underlined. Please could someone explain what meaning of underline words. thanks
