               The Address

Do you still know me ,I asked.

The woman looked at me searchingly. she had opened the door a chink. I came closer and stood on the step.

No, I don' know you;

I ''M mES S'S DAUGHTER.

She held her hand on the door as though she wanted to prevent it opening any further. her face gave absolutely no sign of recognition. she kept staring at me in silence. Perhaps I was mistaken, I thought, perhaps it isn her. I had seen her only once fleetingly, and that was years ago . It was most probable that I had rung the wrong bell. the woman let go of the door and stepped to the side. she was wearing my mother green knitted cardigan. the wooden buttons were rather pale from washing, she saw that I was looking at the cardigan and half hid herself again behind the door.

                                               The Portrait of a Lady

My grandmother like everybody grandmother was an oid woman. she had been oid and wrinkled for the twenty years that I had known her. People said that she had once been young and pretty and had even had a husdand but that was hard to believe. My grandfather portrait hung above the mantelpiece in the drawing room. He wore a big turban and loose- fitting clothes. His long , white beard covered the best part of his chest and he looked at least a hundred years old. He did not look the sort of person who would have a wife or children. he looked as if he could only have lots and lots of grandchildren. As for my grandmother being young and pretty, the thought was almost revolting . she often told us of the games she used to play as a child. that seemed quits absurd and unbignified on her part and we treated it like the fables of the prophets she used to tell us.

She had always been short and fat and slightly bent.
