Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte

intimate approbation of your dress and general appearance: I meant it
as a compliment."


"You did? You meant, in short, to express that you are not ashamed to
be seen in the street with me? That if Mrs. Cholmondeley should be
fondling her lapdog at some window, or Colonel de Hamal picking his
teeth in a balcony, and should catch a glimpse of us, you would not
quite blush for your companion?"
