She makes Joe imagine the girl lying there, describing events in erotic terms: “… part the "lips" … "solitaire" … "Breasts" in the stones …"Imagine" the hands … What are they fondling? … "There’s love for you" …” Another change Beckett made here was to add in a greater degree of repetition, particularly the word “imagine” emphasising that what we are hearing here is primarily a work of imagination rather than simple recollection.
