Question
Read the short excerpt from "The Doll's House" by Katherine Mansfield. Who is most likely the narrator in this passage?
But perfect, perfect little house! Who could possibly mind the smell? It was part of the joy, art of the newness.
"Open it quickly, some one!"
The hook at the side was stuck fast. Pat pried it open with his penknife, and the whole housefront swung back, and — there you were, gazing at one and the same moment into the drawingroom and dining-room, the kitchen and two bedrooms. That is the way for a house to open! Why don't all houses open like that? How much more exciting than peering through the slit of a door into a mean little hall with a hatstand and two umbrellas! That is — isn't it? — what you long to know about a house when you put your hand on the knocker. Perhaps it is the way God opens houses at dead of night when He is taking a quiet turn with an angel. . . .
