Metaphor
"For her own child, all the feelings of a parental bosom vegetated in luxuriance."
Metaphor in Context
Her resentment was not confined to the Colonel, but extended its severity to his children. For her own child, all the feelings of a parental bosom vegetated in luxuriance: If in the least indisposed, every luxury which the city afforded was provided for her. Happy had it been, were she disposed to treat his former children with an equal degree of tenderness; she might then have derived greater pleasure from her connection.
