The Address
Did the daughter of Mrs Dorling know anything about the ‘nice things’ that they were using in their house ? Give a reasoned answer.
No, the 15-year old daughter of Mrs Dorling knew nothing about the ‘nice things’. Once they belonged to the narrator’s mother. She was showing the tea pot with the gold border, the antique plates and the silver cutlery with pride. She knew nothing about Mrs S or how her mother acquired those ‘nice things’. She was totally ignorant about them.
