Answer:

Mrs. Dorling did not receive her warmly. First of all she pretended to have not recognized her; but when the narrator gave her a few hints, she recognized her.
Mrs. Dorling did not open the door because she did not want the narrator to come inside her house and see all her mother’s belongings such as cutlery, sliver, crockery, antique things, etc. She had no intention of returning these things to her.
