Metaphor in Context
I was for some time at a loss to guess at the cause of these appearances. At length is occurred to me, that joy was the source of the sickness that had seized Mrs. Maurice. The abrupt recovery of what had been deemed irretrievable, would naturally produce this effect upon a mind of a certain texture.
