2 `` It 's the girl herself .
3 It 's Nora , '' said old Nathan , rising from his bench .

7 When the news spread , the Racicot people crowded in to see Nora until the house was full .
8 They spent a noisy , merry , whole-hearted evening of the old sort .
9 The men smoked and most of the women knitted while they talked .
10 They were pleased to find that Nora did not put on any airs .

14 Folks here thought you 'd be something wonderful . ''
15 Nora laughed .
16 She was glad that they did not find her changed .
17 Old Nathan chuckled in his dry way .
