Quotation from: The Professor

Written by: Charlotte Bronte

Hunsden laughed--his laugh of unmitigated scorn.

"I did, Mr. Hunsden. Are you of the number of those to whom such
associations give no pleasure?"

"Mademoiselle, what is an association? I never saw one. What is
its length, breadth, weight, value--ay, VALUE? What price will
it bring in the market?"

"Your portrait, to any one who loved you, would, for the sake of
association, be without price."
