Who was mrs dorling ? What did the narrator mother tell her about the narrator
Answers
The narrator of 'The address' had met Mrs. Dorling once when she came home from her studies. At that time the woman was carrying things from their home. From her mother she learned that Mr. Dorling was an old acquaintance who had recently renewed their friendship. According to her mother Mrs. Dorling was carrying all their valuable goods to her house, so that, as Jews, even if they had to run in the course of war, their properties will be safe in Mrs. Dorling's house. Her mother seems to be very grateful about that. The narrator had to let it go at that in spite of her own misgivings about the woman.
Answer:
Explanation:
Mrs.S told her daughter that Mrs. Dorling was an old acquaintance whom she had not seen for years. She had suddenly turned up and renewed their contact. Since then, she had visited regularly. Every time she left the place, she took some of Mrs.S'd belongs- the table silver, antique plates, vases etc- back with her for safekeeping. Mrs.S also tells her daughter that the idea was suggested by Mrs.Dorling herself. She also gives her the address Number 46, Marconi street and asks her to remember it. Mrs. Dorling was an opportunist and took home all of Mrs. S's belongings on the pretext of saving it. But, Mrs.S thought she was helpful and doing them a great favour.
