ok i'm with everett on this one. if you know who's at the door, and who they're there for, shouldn't that person get the door?
It makes sense if Mrs. True was still occupied doing something else
Looks like she's doing dishes or laundry.
ok fair enough
Shouldn't the person that is not busy doing chores answer it?
Sure, but what can that person do anyways when the guest wants to speak with the one that's doing the chores.
You invite the guest in and let the other person know they have a guest over.
Why would you invite people in before you know their business?
Have you never had a guest that you knew was a friend of a sibling, spouse, partner, or parent come over and ask to speak with them? If you did, do you just say one second and then close the door in their face and make them wait outside? If you do that, you are rude. Idk, maybe you are from a different culture than I am, but where I am from, you would be considered rude for not letting a known guest in unless there are extenuating circumstances.
In the modern day, yes, but its possible the Trues were raised under the influence of people who grew up under calling card etiquette where there are a lot of rules about what to do.
