About This Quote

"Her" refers to the person you are talking about, "excitable" means that she was like an animal's tail on a windy day. "Librarian" means that she was always calm and collected, like the librarian at the library. For your friend who is madly in love with her boyfriend, this is a terrible thing to say. It sounds like he is saying she has an explosive temper like a firecracker on the Fourth of July.
