The Sisters
by James Joyce
The next morning after breakfast I went down to look at the little house in Great Britain Street. It was an unassuming shop, registered under the vague name of _Drapery_. The drapery consisted mainly of children’s bootees and umbrellas; and on ordinary days a notice used to hang in the window, saying: _Umbrellas Re-covered_. No notice was visible now for the shutters were up. A crape bouquet was tied to the door-knocker with ribbon.

The correct response is:
**The narrator knows more than what is being shared.**
This is evident through the details provided about the setting, such as the closed shop and the crape bouquet tied to the door-knocker, which suggest a deeper significance and imply that something has occurred, hinting at a hidden story or context that the narrator is aware of but not fully revealing right away.
