Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I tried to get up next morning, but while I was dressing, and at
intervals drinking cold water from the _carafe_ on my washstand,
with design to brace up that trembling weakness which made dressing so
difficult, in came Mrs. Bretton.


"Here is an absurdity!" was her morning accost. "Not so," she added,
and dealing with me at once in her own brusque, energetic fashion--
that fashion which I used formerly to enjoy seeing applied to her son,
and by him vigorously resisted--in two minutes she consigned me
captive to the French bed.
