Metaphor in Context
... Though I had scarcely caught a faint glimpse of his person, there was something in the occurence that persuaded me it was Mr. Falkland. I shuddered at the possibility of his having overheard the words of my soliloquy. But this idea, alarming as it was, had not the power immediately to suspend the career of my reflections.
