i like to think abt comparing ann walker's diaries (if we had them) to anne's like "recieved a letter from M- today, A- read it, but i swiftly convinced her she is merely an old friend. A- none the wiser, i am such a smooth operator" and "asked about anne's letter from mariana lawton. tried telling me she is /just/ a friend. i locked her out of her study"
Ahaha yesss. It’s one of my favourite things to think about too. Anne ALWAYS reckons she is being so sneaky and I bet half the time everyone sees right through her.
I was reading through the entries about her stay in Langton Hall with the Norcliffes and when she’s getting with Miss Vallance behind Isabella Norcliffe’s back, Tib keeps on bursting into their bedrooms unannounced. Anne is always like “Luckily we were under the covers and I had just about stopped panting so Isabella is none the wiser!” and it’s just… why do you think she was bursting in there in the first place, Anne??
