How did Damu Anna react when Mavshibai jokingly accused him of trying to kiss her?

When Mavshibai humorously accused Anna of trying to kiss her, he did not find it funny and became quite agitated. As detailed in Chapter 24, Anna, a man of mature age with no teeth, took her jest as a serious slight. In response to her teasing, he rolled up his sleeves in anger and retorted, "Am I such an old man? Am I a fool or completely mad? You yourself put your face to my face and are ready to quarrel with me." His defensive and angry reaction showed that he completely missed the humorous intent of her words, causing the quarrel to escalate until Baba intervened.
