Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


Polly, being near him, kneeling on a little cushion or the carpet, a
conversation would begin in murmurs, not inaudible, though subdued. I
caught a snatch of their tenor now and then; and, in truth, some
influence better and finer than that of every day, seemed to soothe
Graham at such times into no ungentle mood.


"Have you learned any hymns this week, Polly?"


"I have learned a very pretty one, four verses long. Shall I say it?"
