Answer: talkative, religious, middle class
The passage describes the woman as "garrulous," which means talkative, especially in a rambling, trivial way. It also states that she liked to gossip over tea. This implies she is talkative.
The woman also collected stamps for a pious purpose. "Pious" refers to a religious goal or motivation, especially one that attempts to fulfill a duty towards God. This shows that the woman is religious.
Finally, she is a pawnbroker's widow. Pawnbrokers in general do not earn a large income. Moreover, she is a widow, so it is likely she is in an even tighter situation than she would have been if her husband was still alive. This indicates she is most likely middle class.

Rip Van Winkle is a short tale written by Washington Irving, and it is also the name of the protagonist of this story. In this tale, Rip is a villager who enjoys living life <em>as simple as possible</em>. He is lazy and his wife is always nagging him because of it.
The situation became worse with the years, as Rip's wife insulted even his friends, blaming them for his husband's laziness. Desperate, to escape from his wife and her yelling, he often walked through the mountains, hunting alongside his dog.
One day, when he was returning to the village, he heard voices calling his name. He found then an old man who required his help. After helping him, and going through other adventures, Rip came back to the village, learning in the process that he had been missing for almost 20 years. This excerpt is taken from the part when he meets his daughter and grandson.

Explanation:
The formula for simple interest is;
I=PRT/100
Given that;
P = $4,000
R = 10%
t = 3 years
Hence, we now substitute into the formula;
I = 4,000 * 10 * 3/100
I = $1200
Total amount owed = principal + interest
Total amount owed = $1200 + $4,000
Total amount owed = $5200
