Answers
Answer:
The narrator's mother was a trusting women. She told her daughter about Mrs dorling, an old acquaintance, who had suddenly turned up and renewed their contact and since then had been a regular visitor. The mother did not doubt her kindness and was obliged that she insisted on taking all her nice things with her to save them. The mother was worried about Mrs Dorling getting a crick in her back from carrying the crockery and lugging the large vases. When the narrator showed her scepticism, she was annoyed.
On the other hand, Mrs Dorling was an opportunist. She renewed her contact primarily to take the antique things the narrator's mother owned. When the narrator came back after years, she made her feel unwelcome as she did not wish to part with the things that had belonged to the narrator's mother. She was rude and brusque with the narrator and did not allow her to enter the house.
