The Address
Describe the first meeting of the narrator with Mrs Dorling at 46, Marconi Street.
Mrs S, mother of the narrator, gave her the address of Mrs Dorling before dying. The narrator went to her to collect all valuables of her dead mother. The narrator rang the bell. Mrs Dorling herself appeared there. She kept staring at the narrator. She even refused to recognise her. She was wearing the green knitted cardigan of Mrs S. It proved that the narrator was at the right place. Mrs Dorling didn’t even ask the narrator to come inside. She was not happy to find her there. Nor did she mention about the ‘nice things’ which she had taken away from her mother.
