Where is the figurative language in this paragraph: “ we had been sent to that school because my father, among his responsibilities as an officer of the civil service, had a tour of duty to perform in the villages around that steamy little provincial town, where he had his headquarters at that time. he used to make his shorter inspection tours on horseback, and a week before, in the stale heat of a typically post monsoon day, we had waved goodbye to him and a little procession-an assistant, a secretary, two bearers, and the man to look after the bedding rolls and luggage. they rode away through our large garden, still bright green from the rains, and we turned back into the twilight of the house and the sound of fans whispering in every room.”
