Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


When she was gone, my professor demanded of me why I suffered "cette
fille effrontee, cette creature sans pudeur," to address me in such
terms.


I had no pacifying answer to give. The terms were precisely such as
Rosine--a young lady in whose skull the organs of reverence and
reserve were not largely developed--was in the constant habit of
using. Besides, what she said about the young doctor was true enough.
Graham _was_ handsome; he had fine eyes and a thrilling: glance.
An observation to that effect actually formed itself into sound on my
lips.
