-
Q: How did Mrs Dorling react when the narrator said, “I'm Mrs S's daughter"?
Answer - Mrs Dorling held her hand on the door as though she wanted to prevent it from opening any further and her face absolutely gave no sign of recognition. She kept on staring at the woman in silence.
Q2:Why did the narrator wait a long time before going to the address number 46, Marconi Street? 
Answer: Initially, after the liberation, she was not at all interested in her mother's belongings lying stored there. She was also afraid of being confronted with things that had belonged to her mother, who was now no more.

Q3:When did the narrator become curious about her mother's possessions?
Answer: In the post-war period, when things returned to normal, the narrator became curious about her mother's possessions that were stored at Mrs Dorling's house. Since she wanted to see them, she took the train and went to 46, Marconi Street.
Q4. How was the narrator able to recognise her own familiar woollen table-cloth?
 When the narrator found the burn mark on the table-cloth and thus recognized her own familiar woollen table-cloth.
Q5: Why did the narrator resolve to forget the address, No. 46, Marconi Street 

Answer : She wanted to forget the address because it had things belonging to her mother who was no more. The things present in that house such as cutlery, silver, crockery, furniture accessories, antique plates, etc.  The things would make her miss her mother more. So, she wanted to forget the address 46, Marconi Street.
Q:6 What impression do you form of the narrator
Answer: The narrator leaves a very favourable impression on us about her emotional and intellectual qualities. We find her an intelligent but devoted daughter. She loves and respects her mother, but does not approve of her soft behaviour towards her acquaintance, Mrs Dorling.
Q:7 How did the narrator come to know about Mrs Dorling and the address where she lived
The narrator's mother must have given Mrs Dorling's address to the narrator before her death. She must also have told the narrator that she was the same lady whom she had seen taking the household articles such as cutlery, upholstery, furniture,etc, during her vacation from school. Besides, she had meticulously kept the address given to her by her mother. She had looked at the address so many times she had memorized it. After the war was over, the first thing the narrator did was visit Mrs Dorling to take her mothers belongings back.
