Answer

In the first paragraph, "it" refers to **the second, very brief and unexpected meeting between Anne and the gentleman.** The paragraph details how Anne almost runs into the same man she had briefly encountered before. The "it" highlights this repeated, almost accidental encounter and how it further confirmed his positive impression of Anne (he found her lovely) and demonstrated his good manners through his quick and appropriate apology.
