When I was reading this chapter, I noticed what a lot of
time and effort went into making the Nurse Nora dolls by all the
members of the family. I know times were different, that what we
perceive as a little money was a lot back then. A dollar was a
huge amount of money, particularly for a doll. Yet I can't help
comparing it to the efforts many of us expend carving Hitty dolls only
to receive little money in return. But there is a satisfaction
factor that comes from making a doll and knowing it is going to be
loved by someone, and you can't really put a price on that.
