Little Nora is called the madcap of the village. She was not vicious, but merely mischievous, with her heart in the right place. Her madcap nature is not to be wondered at, as she was allowed to run wild, her mother being dead and her father a laborer. The school commissioners write to her father insisting that she be sent to school, and she would have been happy there if the scholars had not made her the butt of ridicule. This she strenuously resents and in her unhappy, lonesome condition, she listens to the flattery of a traveling street fakir, who would have succeeded in taking her away with him had not the school teacher, who saw in her a diamond in the rough, prevented it.
