Word Entry "In Time of Plague"

1. "They get restless at last....who are boisterous and bright....the news of life and death" (654). 
2. My guess: I believe the word "boisterous" in this context would mean along the lines of noisy or outgoing because within the sentence the author is talking about a crowd of people. 
3. Definition: Rough and noisy; noisily jolly or rowdy: clamorous. (Dictionary.com)
4. Just as I suspected the author is trying to describe the scene before her, she sees the two men leave who inform the people of the disease and who has died from it.
