"i had remembered it. But i had waited a long time to go there. Initially after the Liberation. I was absolutely not interested in all that stored stuff, and naturally also rather afraid of it". Explain.

The narrator talks about the address where Mrs Dorling lived. She knew that all her mother's valued possessions were at Mrs Dorling's house and had wanted to get them back. But after the war, she had lost interest in all such things. She was also a little bit afraid of the stuff because she knew they will bring back painful memories of her mother.
