The Address
How and why were all the ‘nice things’ of Mrs S taken away by Mrs Dorling to 46, Marconi Street?
The war in Holland brought a lot of disturbance. Mrs Dorling exploited Mrs S’s fears during the war. She warned her that if they had to leave to some other place, all ‘nice things of Mrs S would be lost. If handed over to her, they would remain in safe hands. In this way, all the silver cutlery, crockery and antiques were taken away by Mrs Dorling to 46, Marconi Street.
