    War in holland
    ▪ Mrs.s is died but her daughter survived

    After war
    Mrs.s daughter
    decide to bring
    back er mom
    belonging from
    mrs.Doris house
    In the beginning of the story it is narrated how the
    protagonist was given a cold reception when she went to
    her native place after the war in search of her mother's
    belongings. After ringing the bell of House Number 46 in
    Marconi Street, a woman opened the door. On being
    introduced, the woman kept staring at her in silence.
    There was no sign of recognition on her face. The woman
    1.First Meeting was wearing her mother's green knitted cardigan. The
    narrator could understand that she had made no mistake.
    She asked the woman whether she knew her mother. The
    woman could not deny this. The narrator wanted to talk to
    her for sometime. But the woman cautiously closed the
    door. The narrator stopped there for sometime and then
    left the place.
    ▪ In the subsequent sections, the memories of the narrator's
    bygone days come to light. Her mother had provided the
    address years ago during the war. She went to home for
    few days. She could find that various things were missing.
    At that time her mother told her about Mrs. Dorling. She
    happened to be an old acquaintance of the narrator's
    mother. Lately she had renewed contact with her and had
    been coming there regularly. Every time she left their
    2.Remembering house she took something home with her. She told that she
    wanted to save all their nice possessions. The next day the
    the past narrator saw Mrs. Dorling going out of their house with a
    heavy suitcase. She had a fleeting glimpse of Mrs. Dorling's
    face. She asked her mother whether the woman lived far
    away. At that time the narrator's mother told about the
    address: Number 46, Marconi Street. After many days the
    after the war, the narrator was curious to take record of the
    possessions that must still be at Number 46, Marconi Street.
    With this intention she went to the given address.
    ▪ The concluding part of the story describes the second
    visit of the narrator. As the narrator's first visit yielded
    no result so she planned to go once again. Interestingly,
    a girl of fifteen opened the door to her. Her mother was
    not at home. The narrator expressed her wish to wait for
    her. The girl accompanied her to the passage. The
    narrator saw an old fashioned iron candle holder
    hanging next to a mirror. The girl made her sit in the
    3.Second visit living room and went inside. The narrator was horrified
    to find herself in a room she knew and did not know.
    She found herself in the midst of familiar things which
    she longed to see again but which troubled her in the
    strange atmosphere. She had no courage to look around
    her. But she no longer had desire to possess them. She
    got up, walked to the door, and left the room. She
    resolved to forget the address and moved on.
    ▪ She finally left mrs . Dorling house and not brought any
    items from her home because it would remember her
    mother’s feeling so she left the home
