That it was a little drafty in the room.

Could mean that there’s too much wind or somthing in the room. Or just the opposite. When there’s not enough ventilation the candle might snuff itself out because of the carbon dioxide it produces through combustion. The carbon dioxide released is not circulated well enough and forms a kind of “blanket” which essentially smothers the flame.

It means you are in a drafty room.

It means the melting wax has nowhere to go and the wick is being smothered.

It means you have a door or window open and there’s a breeze in the room.
