The answer to that question should be interesting.
    Based on the other windows that are shown, I can see one of two possibilities of what the Muse of Time is doing. The first phrase would be what you said, with the comment being something like "...you being like that?!", in which the Muse of Time is insulting Agatha and pointing out how she was at the beginning.
    The other one strikes me as a bit more likely, if we assume that whoever is the Muse of Time in that form is friendly (could be occupied by something else like Castle Heterodyne and Otilia), then it could be a demonstration of how to shift through time. Basically, the conversation being something like
    Agatha: "I think I'm supposed to open a window like..."
    Muse of Time:"Like that?!"

    Ultimately which one it is depends on whether the Muse of Time is supposed to be occupied by a friendly entity (possibly even Lucrezia, things can turn out that way), or an unfriendly one (probably Lucrezia, and probably very upset with Agatha).

    An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.
