Answer 2

When Annie learnt that Mr. Hill had lost his job, she was unmoved and told him that she would continue to work in the house even if Mr. Hill couldn't pay him.

She said that since she had been working there for the last twenty years, there was a sense of belonging in her for his house.

It also shows that Annie was a kind, considerate and sympathetic lady.
