Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


Lull the second--the girls, not one of whom was ever known to weep a
tear for the rebukes of any other master, now all melting like snow-
statues before the intemperate heat of M. Emanuel: I not yet much
shaken, sitting down, and venturing to resume my work.


Something--either in my continued silence or in the movement of my
hand, stitching--transported M. Emanuel beyond the last boundary of
patience; he actually sprang from his estrade. The stove stood near my
desk, he attacked it; the little iron door was nearly dashed from its
hinges, the fuel was made to fly.
