To say that she had a book is to say that her solitude did not press upon her; for her love of knowledge had a fertilizing quality and her imagination was strong. There was at this time, however, a want of lightness in her situation, which the arrival of an unexpected visitor did much to dispel.
The narrative suggests that the presence of a book in her life signifies an escape from loneliness, as it nurtures her passion for learning and fuels her imagination. Despite this, she still experiences a heaviness in her circumstances that weighs on her spirit.
The arrival of an unexpected visitor shifts the mood, alleviating the burdens she feels. This interaction introduces a newfound buoyancy to her otherwise stagnant existence, indicating the transformative power of human connection in overcoming isolation.
