Metaphor in Context
This Letter Lady Bellaston thought would certainly turn the Balance against Jones in the Mind of Sophia, and she was emboldened to give it up, partly by her Hopes of having him instantly dispatched out of the way, and partly by having secured the Evidence of Honour, who, upon sounding her, she saw sufficient Reason to imagine, was prepared to testify whatever she pleased.
