Explanation:

Imagery is a literary jargon which means describing something in great detail in a way that the characters, emotions are so real you can almost reach out and touch them.

The excerpt above shows the use of imagery to describe the emotion that Laura Bridgeman was feeling when she recalled the death of Dr Howe.
