Metaphor in Context
He trembled for the consequence of what he had said, when he observed the changing countenance of the Confessor. But Schedoni spoke not: the tumult in his breast was too great for utterance, and he pressed hastily forward. Spalatro followed. 'Be pleased to tell me what I am to do,' said he, again holding forth the cloak.
