Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I recollect this same chambermaid was a pattern of town prettiness and
smartness. So trim her waist, her cap, her dress--I wondered how they
had all been manufactured. Her speech had an accent which in its
mincing glibness seemed to rebuke mine as by authority; her spruce
attire flaunted an easy scorn to my plain country garb.


"Well, it can't be helped," I thought, "and then the scene is new, and
the circumstances; I shall gain good."
