Question

Give a brief account of the narrators first visit to 46 marconi street.

Answer 1

Answer:

The narrator didn't feel good after visiting Mrs. Dorling for the first time after the war. She was in despair and Mrs. Dorling first disapproved the fact that she knew her. Mrs. Dorling shut the door on her face and she realised that Mrs. Dorling was not willing to either meet her or give back her mother's belongings to her.

Explanation:

Answer 2

On her first visit she received a very cold and unwelcoming response.

• The question has been asked from the story The Address by Marga Minco.
• Mrs. Dorling was a friend of the author's mother, who lived at this address at the time.
• She had taken several treasured items from the author's mother with her after the war.
• The woman's address was on the same street, and the author went there to take her mother's possessions.
• However, when she reached there the woman ignored her and refused to recognise her.
