the text goes "'He was purest Latin', she says, and then leans (drops) back, laughs and giggles ... " so that the "es" would refer to her statement?

"she need not worry", yes, but for the rest you ought to check Jianming's previous queries, answers given and discussion entries.

What "Sorge" means here would be my least worry, Jianming.:) You are correct: She need not worry "that he would kiss me." However, the question is, is she happy/need not worry about him actually kissing her or relieved that he would not/is not going to kiss her. Context will tell you. Also: "Er war das reinste Latein" -refers to "him" "being" the purest Latin??? (context?!) Or is this a typo for Es = It was the purest Latin??? And: ... sagt es ... seems to refer to the female, a girl-like creature (she laughs and giggles like a girl), therefore es - the personal pronoun standing in for das Mädchen.
