Question

Why did the narrator take special interest in the woolen table cloth?

Answer 1

The narrator took a special interest in the table cloth because it was hers.

EXPLANATION:

This is from the story “The address” which is about the story of a daughter who wished to visit her mother’s belongings. The narrator lived during the war period and her mother lived in a home and has a good collection of antiques and silver vessels in her home.

She believed her friend Mr. Dorling and shared her things with her. After the mother died, the narrator came to visit the house for the first time. Most of the things were changed. When she visited for the second time Mr. Dorling took a heavy suitcase and left the home.

Her daughter received the narrator and the narrator saw that her mother’s belongings were kept in an untidy room in a tasteless manner. She sat at a table and stared at the table cloth which has a burnt edge that was used by her mother.
