I love the moment where Anne is trying to convince Marilla to let her stay by showing her she can do chores around the house and here’s why..
Marilla is trying to advice her on how to do things and to be careful but Anne already knows how do these chores. And that was the first seed planted in Marilla’s head about how much Anne has gone through.
The way Marilla’s statements just pause for second which indicates her surprise. This is starting point at which she begins to wonder how a small child would be capable and responsible in a way that other children her age wasn’t.
Anne was up in the clouds most of the time despite having to mature way faster than other children and you can truely see how she used her imagination as a way to cope with all the hardships she has had to face in her lifetime.
