I think that the word is meant to portray a specific kind of personification (the first sense: a figure of speech in which an imaginary or absent person (in this case the dead master) is represented as speaking or acting). it is rather an extreme case, where we are left to visualize what she is doing. in a classical drama (the intended usage?) she would actually have a conversation with him, I suppose.
