Answer. The woman Dr Margolin encountered at the wedding was his one true love, Raizel, the daughter of Melekh, the watchman. He loved her so much that he wanted to marry her, but he had no luck and couldn’t marry her. The last time Dr Margolin heard of her was that she had married someone else and had children, who the Nazis later killed.

Worked solution

Answer. Dr Margolin realised that something was wrong when he noticed that his wallet was missing from his shirt pocket and he was not sure how and where he had lost his wallet. He also couldn’t understand that his true love, Raizel, being present at the wedding, looked too young, and he was in a dilemma that she might be her daughter, who was trying to mock him. All these events led Dr Margolin to a confused state of mind.
