Why is it important to examine an author`s or publisher`s institutional affiliations or previous works?

It is important to examine an author’s and/or publisher’s institutional affiliations and/or previous works because this is important when vetting your sources for bias and therefore credibility.  What is meant by this?  Well, let’s say you were doing research on a gun control issue.  Let’s further say you have discovered a really good, well-written article in support of gun control in favor of gun rights/the right to bear arms.  However, upon doing a little investigating, you discover that the author of the article is in fact a member of the National Rifle Association.  As such, the article is most likely biased and therefore not a reliable source of information. So, again, it is important to always examine an author’s or publisher’s institutional affiliations as well as previous works.

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !
