Taller than most women, Nora had an unmistakable grace and posture, and the genteel accents of one raised in a rich plantation family in Georgia graced her speech. Her skin is remarkably fair, perhaps even to the point of being pale, and she had fine features. Whenever she makes an appearance at one of the local establishments, she is always well dressed in fine fabrics and the kind of clothing that costs good money and that most people would wear only on a Sunday or a holiday, if they owned any like it at all. Her clothing put most women's best dresses to shame.
