Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"They've cheated you!" said the steward exultingly when I got on
board. I answered phlegmatically that "I knew it," and went below.


A stout, handsome, and showy woman was in the ladies' cabin. I asked
to be shown my berth; she looked hard at me, muttered something about
its being unusual for passengers to come on board at that hour, and
seemed disposed to be less than civil. What a face she had--so comely
--so insolent and so selfish!
