Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


When all was still in the house; when dinner was over and the noisy
recreation-hour past; when darkness had set in, and the quiet lamp of
study was lit in the refectory; when the externes were gone home, the
clashing door and clamorous bell hushed for the evening; when Madame
was safely settled in the salle-a-manger in company with her mother
and some friends; I then glided to the kitchen, begged a bougie for
one half-hour for a particular occasion, found acceptance of my
petition at the hands of my friend Goton, who answered, "Mais
certainement, chou-chou, vous en aurez deux, si vous voulez;" and,
light in hand, I mounted noiseless to the dormitory.
