This is a collage of Elroy's world Nancy and Bill's home.
Marylou goes to visit Nancy on Elroy's first day in their home. Marylou goes in part to see how Elroy was doing, part to see how Nancy and Bill were coping.
On the return journey to Hei-apshi, Marylou thinks about her impressions of the Ordinary's house. She is a bit uneasy about their conversation, though she cannot pinpoint what disturbed her about Nancy's words. Maybe, it is nothing more than the fact Nancy seems a bit smug about her marriage and how happy and stable it is. Or maybe it is just envy because she, Marylou, who is over fifty years old, has never been married, nor has she had the chance to be mother to a special child like Elroy.
