i think what wither was referring to were the material things. However, i cannot think of any other word

wither is wrong, but i do believe that gall is the correct answer because the def. of gall (in the book) is bitter feeling, deep despite. and its talking about the love being sour and drying up. im not sure if thats correct but thats my opinion .
