She refused to recognize her and asked her to come again.
Hurt and anguished, she went back. After some days she again called on Mrs. Dorling; fortunately, she was not at home; her daughter received her and asked her to come inside the house. The narrator was shocked to see the room s full of things belonging to her mother. The Hanukkah, table-cloth, antique plates, cutlery, crockery, etc. brought back old memories of her mother.
She remembered the days before the war; once she had come to stay at home from school; at that time her mother had confided to her that Mrs. Dorling was taking the valuable household things to keep them safely in case they had to run away during the war. It was at that time narrator’s mother had given her the address of Mrs. Dorling so that she could collect the things from her.
Sitting inside Mrs. Dorling’s house she suddenly made up her mind to forget the things belonging to her mother. She thought her mother’s things had no significance for her as the mother had died during the war. Finally she decided to leave her mother’s things and forget them forever.
