This might be one of the most adult conversations Anne and Marilla have ever had.
After a minute, Marilla laughs and says if so, then Marilla herself is too, as Mrs Rachel makes her feel that way too sometimes. She nags too much, Marilla says.
Oh man, this next bit got me hard.
Excuse me, I need to pause to cry myself.
Marilla also notices that Anne doesn't "chatter" as much as she used to. Anne says she likes thinking her thoughts and keeping them private, not to be "laughed at or wondered over".
