They went together into the old room

That looked across the fields; and Imogen

Gazed out with a girl's gladness in her eyes, 40

Where there were those who knew her, and at last

Had gloriously got away again

From cabs and clattered asphalt for a while;

Imogen has left the big city for the hometown she grew up in. She was now back to a place where people knew her. This is because when growing up Imogen had interaction with other people who can observe her and form opinions about her. What it means to know someone is to spend time with them and get to know their idiosyncrasies.
