Sister Paxton's behavior reflects that tendency, and hides the fact that she's actually very observant while hinting at her great sense of intuition. You can tell she's had a lot of practice appeasing other people, especially men.

Another minor detail: I love that when they're telling Mr. Reed where they're from, Sister Paxton fully embraces being a Utah Mormon and joking about how her being one of eight kids is a Mormon cliche. But not Sister Barnes.
Even though Sister Barnes and her family live in Salt Lake City, she's very quick to clarify she's originally from Philadelphia and that she's a convert. There's something so specific about a Mormon, especially a convert, wanting to distinguish themselves from Utah Mormons. Great little detail.
I'll end my thread here for now. I might add to it later once I remember more of my thoughts about the film. Overall, I was just really impressed with how many details the movie gets right about Mormon behavior and culture, and ties it all into a story about Belief vs. Doubt
