Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte

Little Georgette was now convalescent; and her physician accordingly
made his visits very rare: indeed, he would have ceased them

Georgette's lisped and broken prayer, and had put her to bed. Taking
the little one's hand, she said, "Cette enfant a toujours un peu de
fievre." And presently afterwards, looking at me with a quicker glance
than was habitual to her quiet eye, "Le Docteur John l'a-t-il vue
dernierement? Non, n'est-ce pas?"
