Metaphor in Context
"My dear Bounderby," said James, dismounting, and giving his bridle to his servant, "I do see it; and am as overcome as you can possibly desire me to be, by the spectacle afforded to my mental view. Nevertheless, I may be allowed, I hope, to congratulate you--which I do with all my soul, I assure you--on your not having sustained a greater loss."
