Quotation from: VilletteWritten by: Charlotte Bronte |

Dr. John sat in a chair at Georgette's bedside; Madame stood before him; the little patient had been examined and soothed, and now lay composed in her crib. Madame Beck, as I entered, was discussing the physician's own health, remarking on some real or fancied change in his looks, charging him with over-work, and recommending rest and change of air. He listened good-naturedly, but with laughing indifference, telling her that she was "trop bonne," and that he felt perfectly well. Madame appealed to me--Dr. John following her movement with a slow glance which seemed to express languid surprise at reference being made to a quarter so insignificant.
