The narrator is the daughter of Mrs S. who went to her native place after the war in search of her mother's belongings after her mother's death. She rang the bell of House Number 46 in Marconi Street in search of Mrs Dorling who was an old acquaintance of her mother. A woman opened the door. The woman was wearing her mother's green knitted cardigan thus, narrator knew she was the right person. She asked the woman whether she knew her mother. The woman did not denied but the woman cautiously closed the door despite narrator wanted to talk to her for sometime. The narrator left the place after sometime.

The story goes into flashback when her mother was alive and her own country Holland was in midst of war. 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. Her mother informed her about Mrs Dorling who happened to be an old acquaintance of the narrator's mother. Mrs S told her about Mrs Dorling who had taken away all the vases, antique plates, crockery as she promised to keep all those nice things safely. Every time she left their house she took something home with her.

While on the train on the way to home, the narrator remembered how the next day the narrator saw Mrs Dorling going out of their house with a heavy suitcase. She had a brief glimpse of Mrs Dorling's face and saw her broad back. 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 the war of liberation had come to an end, the narrator returned to her city. After the first failed visit, the narrator decided to go once again. This time, Mrs Dorling's 15-year-old daughter opened the door to her. Since her mother was away, the narrator decided to wait for her. She followed the girl along the passage. She saw an old fashioned iron candle holder hanging next to a mirror. She was taken to the living room. She found herself in the midst of things which she wanted to see. But she was pained to see them arranged in a tasteless way. She sat down at a table and noticed that the table cloth was hers. It had a burn mark to the edge, left unrepaired by her mother.

The girl offered her tea from a white pot which had a gold border on the lid. She opened a box and took some spoons out. All those things were a part of the narrator's mother's belongings. She walked to the side board and wanted to open a drawer.

But the narrator didn't wait to see them. She started feeling upset. So, she got up, walked to the door to catch her train. She had lost interest in the things that had been taken away from her house and put in strange surroundings. She decided to forget the address and moved on.

कथावाचिका श्रीमती एस की बेटी है जो अपनी माँ की मृत्यु के बाद अपनी माँ के सामान की तलाश में युद्ध के बाद अपने मूल स्थान पर गई थीं| उन्होंने श्रीमती डोरलिंग की खोज में मार्कोनी स्ट्रीट में हाउस नंबर 46 की घंटी बजाई जो उनकी माँ की पुरानी परिचित थीं। एक महिला ने दरवाजा खोला। महिला ने कथावाचिका की माँ के हरे रंग का बुना हुआ कार्डिगन पहन रखा था इसलिए कथावाचिका को पता लग गया कि वह सही महिला हैं जिसकी तलाश वह कर रही हैं। उसने महिला से पूछा कि क्या वह उनकी माँ को जानती हैं। महिला ने इनकार नहीं किया, लेकिन महिला ने सावधानीपूर्वक दरवाजा बंद कर दिया हालांकि कथावाचिका उनसे बात करना चाहती थीं। कथावाचिका कुछ देर बाद वहाँ से चली गयीं।

कहानी कथावाचिका की स्मृति में जाती हैं जब उसकी माँ जीवित थीं और उनका अपना देश हॉलैंड युद्ध के बीच था। कथावाचिका की माँ ने युद्ध के दौरान वर्षों पहले एक पता दिया था। वह कुछ दिनों के लिए घर आई थीं। कथावाचिका ने पाया कि घर से विभिन्न चीजें गायब थीं। कथावाचिका माँ ने उसे श्रीमती डोरलिंग के बारे में जानकारी दी जो उनकी माँ की पुरानी परिचित थी। श्रीमती डोरलिंग ने सभी अच्छी चीजों को सुरक्षित रूप से रखने का वादा किया था। हर बार जब वह कथावाचिका का घर छोड़ती तो वह अपने साथ कुछ ले कर जातीं।

कथावाचिका जब घर जाने के लिए ट्रेन में थीं तब उन्हें याद आया कि अगले दिन कथावाचिका ने श्रीमती डोरलिंग को अपने घर से भारी सूटकेस के साथ बाहर जाते हुए देखा था। उस समय कथावाचिका को श्रीमती डोरलिंग के चेहरे की एक संक्षिप्त झलक मिली| उन्होंने अपनी माँ से पूछा कि क्या वह महिला बहुत दूर रहती है। उस समय कथावाचिका की माँ ने पते के बारे में बताया: नंबर 46, मार्कोनी स्ट्रीट।

आज़ादी का युद्ध समाप्त होने के बाद, कथावाचिका अपने शहर लौट आईं। पहली असफल यात्रा के बाद, कथाकार ने एक बार फिर से श्रीमती डोरलिंग के यहाँ जाने का फैसला किया। इस बार श्रीमती डोरलिंग की 15 वर्षीय बेटी ने दरवाजा खोला। चूंकि उसकी माँ वहां नहीं थी, कथावाचिका ने प्रतीक्षा करने का फैसला किया। उसने लड़की का अनुसरण किया। उसने देखा कि एक पुराने जमाने की लोहे की मोमबत्ती धारक आईने के बगल में लटका हुआ है। कथावाचिका को लिविंग रूम में ले जाया गया। कथावाचिका ने खुद को उन चीजों के बीच में पाया जो वह देखना चाहती थी। लेकिन उन्हें अजीब तरीके से व्यवस्थित देख वह व्यथित हो गई। वह एक मेज पर बैठ गई और देखा कि टेबल का कपड़ा उसकी माँ का था। कपड़े के किनारे पर एक जले का निशान था, जिसे कथावाचिका की माँ द्वारा ठीक नहीं किया गया था।

लड़की ने एक सफेद बर्तन से चाय की पेशकश की जिसके ढक्कन के किनारे पर सोने के काम किया हुआ था । उसने एक डिब्बा खोला और कुछ चम्मच निकाले। वे सभी बातें कथावाचिका की माँ के सामान का एक हिस्सा थीं। लड़की साइड बोर्ड पर एक दराज खोलने गई|

लेकिन कथावाचिका उन्हें देखने के लिए इंतजार नहीं कर पाई। वह परेशान होने लगीं। इसलिए, वह उठकर ट्रेन पकड़ने के लिए चली गईं। उन्होंने उन चीजों में रुचि खो दी थी जो उसके घर लिए गए थे और अजीब तरीके से व्यवस्थित थे। उन्होंने उस पत्ते को भूल जाने का फैसला किया और आगे बढ़ गईं।
