Question

What does the author notice one Sunday afternoon in 'A House is Not a Home'? What is his mother’s reaction? What does she do?

Answer 1

One Sunday afternoon the author notices smoke pouring in through the seams of the ceiling and filling the room so quickly that they could barely see. The situation was so bad that they had to grope their way to the front door and run into the yard.
His mother immediately ran back into the house and came out carrying a small metal box full of important documents.
After dropping the case, she ran back in a crazed state to save the letters and pictures of her husband.
