The two excerpts that indicate that the aunt is unaware of her flaws are excerpts number 3 and 5.

These excerpts show that the aunt is not aware of her flaws as a storyteller and why she is uncapable of calming the children with a story.

The excerpts shows how she thinks the kind of stories she tell are the right one for kids, and since she does not see her flaws, she taunts the bachelor to try and tell a story.
