[URGENT] Give evidence from the story that the narrator is a keen observer.

From the itinerary of the things in the house presented by the narrator, it is evident that she was a keen observer. As the narrator walked down the passage with Mrs Dorling's daughter, she saw an old-fashioned Hannukah candle-holder hung next to a mirror. Then as she entered the living-room she found herself in the midst of things that she had wanted to see again but they seem to have an adverse effect on her in a strange atmosphere,being severed from their familiar surroundings. She could not ascertain if it was due to the tasteless way of arranging the things, the ugly furniture or the muggy smell that clung to the room. She sat down at a table covered by a woollen table-cloth that she remembered having a burn mark, the white tea-pot with gold border that the girl poured tea from, the box containing spoons and lots of other things that had been arranged around the room which had belonged to her mother. The last straw was the silver cutlery which had been a valuable asset that belonged to her mother and now it was in Mrs Dorling's house.
