I think its an Idiom. I don't see like or as. So no simile. I don't see he is something like a marshmallow. - No metaphor. I also don't see a non-human thing doing human things- the grass was dancing in the wind. My answer would be an idiom.

Explanation:
According to the play Trifles by Susan Glaspell, the county attorney and sheriff arrive to investigate the murder of Mr. Wright who was discovered strangled.
They arrest Mrs. Wright because she is the prime suspect in the murder.
The women look around the house to look for clues to prove Mrs. Wright's innocence and the men refuse to search the kitchen for clues because they believe it is a woman's territory so the women search the kitchen and Mrs. Peters discovered an empty birdcage and then the women find a dead bird.
Mrs. Hale hides the vital evidence of the box containing the box in her pocket away from the sheriff.
