Mrs. Penniman's own account of the matter...

Hi

Could you please help me understand the yellow part?

[Mrs. Penniman is staying with her brother, the Doctor, to take care of his daughter.]

Mrs. Penniman's own account of the matter was that she had remained to take charge of her niece's education. She had given this account, at least, to everyone but the Doctor, who never asked for explanations which he could entertain himself any day with inventing.

Thanks,

Tom
