"Forced to raise her voice, Emma could hear it echoing in her head as she spoke with great passion and force about her new career."
Metaphor in Context
By the time the second brandies arrived there was no doubting that they were drunk. The whole restaurant seemed drunk, even the silver-haired pianist, clattering sloppily through 'I Get a Kick Out of You', his foot pumping the sustain pedal as if someone had cut his brake cable. Forced to raise her voice, Emma could hear it echoing in her head as she spoke with great passion and force about her new career.
