Metaphor in Context
BEVERLEY
If you're my Sister, spare the Remembrace--it wounds too deeply. To-morrow shall clear all; and when the worst is known, it may be better than your Fears. Comfort my Wife; and for the Pains of Absence, I'll make Atonement. The World may yet go well with us.
CHARLOTTE
See where she comes!--Look chearfully upon her--Afflictions such as hers are prying, and lend those Eyes that read the Soul.
