Metaphor in Context
It would be difficult to decide, whether anger or contempt was the most predominant passion in the mind of mr. Lovegrove on reading the above:--he resolved, however, not to suffer the insolence of that bad man to go unpunish'd, but went very early the next morning to his lodgings, in order either to force from him the satisfaction he required: or still persisting to refuse it, to give him such treatment as men are ordinarily accustom'd to receive after behaving in the manner he had done.
