The Address - Marga Minco

The story begins with a girl who goes too see another women named Mrs. Dorling. She says she is the daughter of "Mrs. S". She went to see this woman to learn about things but the lady was reluctant to tell her anything. Mrs. S's daughter only stayed there for a few minutes before she had discovered that she had already overstayed her welcome. On her way back to the train station, she thought a lot about her mother.

Mrs. Dorling used to take Mrs. S's things back to her house during the first part of the war because she thought that all of her things were going to be destroyed or left behind anyways. As she continued to walk back to the train station, she saw old streets that were burnt up and old memories ran through her body.

The girl didn't like eating the food that the soldiers had brought to them at first but it grew on to her. The next morning she went to Mrs. Dorling's house again, but this time a teenage girl answered the door and told her that her mother wasn't home. Mrs. Dorlings daughter let her in, this was something Mrs. Dorling did not do the previous day. As she walked in, she saw all of their things set up in a different setting and it disgusted her. She didn't want to stay there long, so she left without even waiting for Mrs. Dorling.

On her way back to the train she thought to herself that she wanted to never think about their things at that house again. She thought that it ruined the memory to see them again out of place and out of context, and it ruins the memory of those things.
