Quotation from: The Professor

Written by: Charlotte Bronte

"Monsieur sera-t-il aussi bon mari qu'il a ete bon maitre?"

"I will try, Frances."

A pause; then with a new, yet still subdued inflexion of the
voice--an inflexion which provoked while it pleased me
--accompanied, too, by a "sourire a la fois fin et timide" in
perfect harmony with the tone:--

"C'est a dire, monsieur sera toujours un peu entete exigeant,
volontaire--?"
