Written by: Charlotte Bronte

they are more honest than Catholics; a Romish school is a
building with porous walls, a hollow floor, a false ceiling;

and what the house is, the inhabitants are, very treacherous;
they all think it lawful to tell lies; they all call it
politeness to profess friendship where they feel hatred."
