Final answer:
Alice may want to keep furniture from the B Street house or pieces she bought, especially since the kitchen was the only room they had to fully furnish.
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the context provided from the excerpt, the only thing Alice would likely be interested in keeping when she moves is either some of the furniture she had bought or the pieces she brought from the B Street house. Since the kitchen was the only room they were 'obliged to furnish throughout,' it implies that other rooms had items Alice might be attached to and might want to keep. The furniture from the B Street house could have sentimental value or specific utility that makes Alice inclined to retain it amidst her otherwise all-new furnishings.
