Figure Of Saying Stylisically Realised As Circumstance Of Location

The judge clearly felt caught then.  He looked at horror at the exhibits and thought with terror of the Lord Chancellor.  'Mr Lampitt, Mr Rumpole,' he asked us without any real hope, 'are you insisting I try this case?' 
'With great respect, yes,' from Lampitt. 
'That's what it comes to, my Lord,' from me.

The effect of this stylistic use of ideational metaphor is to turn projections into projectiles.  That is, it gives material motion to semiotic Locutions, such that the words of the barristers shoot out of them across the courtroom and into the judge's heart.
