I think what Laura was referring to when she said was that it was simply "marvelous" to experience something so different from what she is used to. Laura comes from a family where garden parties are a regular occurance and some of the most important decisions she has to make is what flowers to put in the centerpiece or which fancy hat would match her party dress. But when she stepped into that house and saw the widow and the dead man, it was kind of a culture shock, experiencing death and how it affects average people. She never really knew before this how other people react to death because there's never been an instance where it really affects her.
