Detailed explanation-1: -What do the narrator and his sister do when the back section of the house is taken over? They move to the front section of the house. What details most clearly support that the narrator and his sister are nervous and afraid? They intentionally stop thinking and have trouble sleeping.
Detailed explanation-2: -Their appearance forces Irene and the narrator into their own apartment. The siblings are clearly afraid of these noises; they sing loudly in order to avoid hearing them and ultimately flee the house for good as soon as the noises have breached their tiny apartment.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the house is taken over, the siblings are forced out onto the street-literally. Even though the end of the story ends with the siblings losing their house and possessions, what they gain-their independence-is much more valuable than either the house or their things.
Detailed explanation-4: -They both spend many hours cleaning the spacious home, and Irene enjoys knitting while the narrator enjoys reading French literature.
