Question

'she rarely left the spinning wheel'.Did that indicate something?

Answer 1

The ‘she’ in question is the narrator’s grandmother. She always kept to herself and did not like to keep company with anyone. The grandmother was almost always busy spinning at the spinning wheel silently. She would not even move away from the spinning wheel to talk to anyone. Her life revolved around the spinning wheel and she preferred to keep away from her family by remaining aloof.
