Question

who was mrs Dorling where did she live
​

Answer 1

Mrs. Dorling was an acquaintance of the author's mother. She used to live in Marconi Street.

• The question has been asked from the story The Address.
• After the war, Mrs Dorling had taken with her many valuable items of the author's mother.
• Marconi Street was the woman's address of Mrs. Dorling, where the author went there to claim her mother's belongings.

Answer 2

Mrs. Dorling was an old acquaintance who offered to help the narrator's mother during the World War; she lived at 46 Marconi Street. She was a greedy woman who did not return the belongings to the narrator. She herself had offered to take Mrs. S's things to her home to take care of them as long as they would be away. Mrs. S had entrusted the task of taking care of her things before leaving to save their life from Nazi soldiers. After the war when the narrator returned, and went to her house to take her mother's things back, she did not welcome her with a smile. She kept her standing at the door, and asked her to come some other day. Her selfish, inconsiderate and avaricious behavior hurt the already hurt narrator. Her intentions of misappropriating the author's mother's goods were quite clear.
