Nemesis Reading #2

One part of the reading that I thought was interesting was in another one of Miss Marple's tangents. She was knitting a baby sweater, and began thinking about Mr. Rafiel's death. "...Pink wool. Now wait a minute-where did that fit in? Yes-yes-it fitted in with the name she'd just read in the paper. Pink wool. A blue sea. A Caribbean sea. A sandy beach. Sunshine. Herself knitting and-why, of course Mr. Rafiel. That trip she had made to the Caribbean..." This is just one example of one of Matple's tangents. She is talking about a trip to the Caribbean in which she met Mr. Rafiel. I thought that the purpose of this quote within the context of the reading was to show how sparatic Miss Marple's thoughts are and how her mind works.
