Answer:

"These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:"

Explanation:

Metonymy is the substitution of one word for another, when between them there is a relation of proximity of senses that allows this exchange. Ex .: The stadium applauded the player.

Metonymy is a figure of language that arises from the need for the speaker or writer to put more emphasis on communication. In the excerpt shown in the question, metomnia is seen in the "These old bones live to learn her wanton ways" phase where the expression "old bones" represents the word "body".
