Nick's comment didn't bother Mable at all, because she agreed with Anne and thought that he was the one talking funny.  Anne even told him to shut up!  She was so cool.

Anne's house was so pretty!  And her yard so similar to what Mable's had been in Pennsylvania.  The girl nearly tripped over the uneven pavement, she was so distracted looking around and trying to take everything in.  Her friend even walked up stairs before getting to her front door!  Mable had never been in a house with stairs before!

Inside was even more amazing than the outside.  Mable stared in wonder, trying to see everything as fast as she could before Anne hid anything away in embarrassment.  Embarrassment!  How could she be embarrassed about this!  It was wonderful!

"No need to apologize Anne, truly!" Mable said, setting the basket down where she'd been directed.  "I love your home!  It really does feel like a home, you know.  So lovely, so lovely!  Would you mind giving me a tour?  Only if you want to, of course!"
