“I hate dogs‘ I said …’I don’t know what’ll become of you if you go on like that’ Hester said. ‘Let me tell you that. People won’t like you. People in England will dislike you very much if you say things like that’ ‘I don’t care,’ I said. But I began to repeat the multiplication-table because I was afraid I was going to cry” (71).

Upon this quote, Anna declares to Hester she is not fond of dogs. However, when Hester stated that to people of England would not like her if they ever hear as such a take, this seems hurt Anna deeply. Despite Anna confirming to Hester that did not bother her, she thought about crying afterward as the opinion the English people have on her gravely affects her thoughts and people. As Anna holds a higher value on the way that Londoners views, she carefully thinks twice about what she has said.
