The narration has achieved imagery by the use of adjectives such as 'green' to describe the grass.
The Evening

Mrs. Pargiter
While Mrs. Pargiter was lying sick on her bed, she is described as, 'Her face was poached and heavy, the skin stained with brown patches, the hair which had been red was now white, save that there were queer patches of yellow in it.' The narration archives imagery in the description of Mrs. Pargiter through the use of adjectives such as' brown' and 'yellow' to describe her features.
Mrs. Levy
Mrs. Levy was part of the lower class. They were poor in comparison to the Partiger family. The narrator describes her as, 'She was thinking of old Mrs. Levy, sitting propped up in bed with her white hair in a thick flop like a wig and her face cracked like an old glazed pot.' The narration achieves imagery through the use of similes that liken her features to an old glazed pot and her hair to a wig.
