Quotation from: The Professor

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"If you please, monsieur--I have no objection; I think, indeed, I
should rather like to see him nearer; he looks so original."


As I had anticipated, Mr. Hunsden came that evening. The first
thing he said was:--


"You need not begin boasting, Monsieur le Professeur; I know
about your appointment to -- College, and all that; Brown has
told me." Then he intimated that he had returned from Germany
but a day or two since; afterwards, he abruptly demanded whether
that was Madame Pelet-Reuter with whom he had seen me on the
Boulevards. I was going to utter a rather emphatic negative,
but on second thoughts I checked myself, and, seeming to assent,
asked what he thought of her?
