Metaphor in Context
CAMILLA heard him out, and then told him, she would do any thing in her power to serve him; but advised him, if possible, to try to conquer his Passion. --- At these Words he turned pale,--and looked in the utmost Agonies;---which his Sister perceiving, she told him, if his Love was so fixed, that he could not enjoy himself without Cynthia,---she hoped, and did not at all doubt,--but he might gain her Affections,--for that before she went abroad, she had observed much more than a common Complaisance in her Behaviour towards him; which she found was rather increased than abated since this last Meeting; and he must wait with patience, till Time, perhaps, might put it in his power to be as happy as he could wish.
