Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 2, of Julius Caesar.
[Alarum. Enter BRUTUS and MESSALA]
BRUTUS. Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills
Unto the legions on the other side.
[Loud alarum]
Let them set on at once, for I perceive
But cold demeanour in Octavius’ wing,
And sudden push gives them the overthrow.
Ride, ride, Messala, let them all come down.
[Exeunt]
What does Shakespeare mean by the phrase "cold demeanour” as spoken by Brutus in this passage?
