Quote #7
When I was a young man I worked on the farm of a German. The hired-girl was afraid of her employer. The farmer's wife hated her (5.11)

Quote #8
When I was a schoolboy [...] I went [...] to the house where the old woman had lived. No one had lived in the house since her death (5.12)
The narrator's later life experiences shape his understanding of Mrs. Grimes' death. The image of her decrepit old house (complete with creepy dogs) definitely shaped the story we're being told.
