Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Now, old Crusty--old Diogenes" (these were her familiar terms for me
when we disagreed), "what is the matter now?"


"Take yourself away. I have no pleasure in looking at you or your
_parure_."


For an instant, she seemed taken by surprise.


"What now, Mother Wisdom? I have not got into debt for it--that is,
not for the jewels, nor the gloves, nor the bouquet. My dress is
certainly not paid for, but uncle de Bassompierre will pay it in the
bill: he never notices items, but just looks at the total; and he is
so rich, one need not care about a few guineas more or less."
