Question

whats take the narrator to mrs dorlings house twice

Answer 1

The narrator went to Mrs Dorling's house who did not welcome her at all. Rather, she never invited her inside as she was afraid that the narrator would ask back for her belongings. The narrator had been asked by her mother to remember Mrs Dorling's address who had taken many belongings of the on the pretext of keeping them safe during the war. Even though the narrator recognised the cardigan worn by Mrs Dorling as her mother's, she was denied entry by Mrs Dorling. The second time, when she went to the house, Mrs Dorling's daughter opened the door and let her in. The narrator felt nostalgic as she saw the fine cutlery, vases and antique plates of her mother. But, they were kept rather tastelessly. The narrator felt the loss of her mother keenly and decided to leave without claiming any of the things. She resolved to forget the belongings and the address where they were kept.
