I don’t comprehend the sentence in blue bracket. Why is "that" at the beginning of the sentence while it is not a noun(subject) clause or sth?

One Answer

It refers to part of the previous sentence “... what he’d once overheard her saying ...”.

She had been saying ... “that she was an art and English teacher ...”
