Question
'Have you come back?' said the woman.'I thought that no one had come back.'
Does this statement give some clue about the story? If yes, what is it?
Solution
The quoted statement indicates that the two families knew each other. When the war was going on some people left their homes to take refuge in distant lands. Few people who remained there thought that those people who had left their land would never come back. That is why the woman feels surprised to see one of them returning back. Usually people care more for material things than for human beings. But it cannot be said of all human beings. The narrator and her mother were totally different in their nature. They were trusting and loving human beings. Thus, the given statement gives some clue about the story.
