Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


She spoke to me so much as of old she used to speak that I almost
fancied she was beginning to know me. There was the same sort of
patronage in her voice and manner that, as a girl, I had always
experienced from her--a patronage I yielded to and even liked; it was
not founded on conventional grounds of superior wealth or station (in
the last particular there had never been any inequality; her degree
was mine); but on natural reasons of physical advantage: it was the
shelter the tree gives the herb. I put a request without further
ceremony.
