Metaphor in Context
Mr. Ashok's face reappears now in my mind's eye as it used to every day when I was in his service--reflected in my rearview mirror. It was such a handsome face that sometimes I couldn't take my eyes off it. Picture a six-foot-tall fellow, broad-shouldered, with a landlord's powerful, punishing fore-arms; yet always gentle (almost always--except for that time he punched Pinky Madam in the face) and kind to those around him, even his servants and driver.
