The Address
Why was the narrator ‘not entirely convinced’ by the assurance given by Mrs
Dorling to her mother for saving all her ‘nice things’?
Mrs Dorling had given an assurance to Mrs S. She told her that all her ‘nice things would remain intact in her safe hands. Even if they had to leave the place during the war, they would lose nothing. So Mrs Dorling took all the silver ware, vases and antique plates with her. But the narrator didn’t seem to be ‘entirely convinced’. She had no faith in Mrs Dorling. She wanted a written agreement from Mrs Dorling. She was rebuked and silenced by her unsuspecting mother.
