This is only a short answer space. From the beginning of the narrative it becomes apparent that Miss Brill is starving for warmth and companionship. Words reflect this state throughout the narrative. She tenderly caresses her fur as if it were a beloved pet when she rubs it. We see her sense of nostalgia and longing with words like "caress" and "rubs"
