Explanation:
To enwrap means to cover something up or wrap it, envelope it. In line 4 of Edgar Allan Poe's poem, the speaker is saying that the name of the person to whom the poem was written is hidden. Other readers won't know it, but she will if she can read carefully. This is the context:
<em>FOR her this rhyme is penned, whose luminous eyes,
</em>
<em>Brightly expressive as the twins of Lœda,
</em>
<em>Shall find her own sweet name, that, nestling lies
</em>
<em>Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
</em>
<em>Search narrowly the lines! — they hold a treasure</em>
As we can see, enwrapped means her name is hidden from other people's eyes.

2. The author mentions his three aunts in the story, each having their peculiar habits or beliefs.
- Clarissa Beall somehow held the belief that she would eventually die on South High Street, as most of her life happenings had taken place on this particular street.
- Sarah Shoaf, was fearful that a burglar would somehow spray her room with chloroform and steal her valuables. To avoid being affected by the chemical, she’d stack up all her valuables outside her room with a note to the supposed burglar that this is all she possesses, hence take it and leave.
- Gracie Shoaf, too had a similar phobia of burglar attacking her house, in response to which she would through her footwear in the middle of the night. This she was doing for the last forty years.
3. The author says he is about to share an “incredible” tale that happened to him one night.
