Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


At first we hoped this was not the case. It was, however, but too
true: one little plump arm hung powerless.


"Let Meess" (meaning me) "take her," said Madame; "et qu'on aille tout
de suite chercher un fiacre."


In a _fiacre_ she promptly, but with admirable coolness and self-
possession, departed to fetch a surgeon.


It appeared she did not find the family-surgeon at home; but that
mattered not: she sought until she laid her hand on a substitute to
her mind, and brought him back with her. Meantime I had cut the
child's sleeve from its arm, undressed and put it to bed.
