Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Elle ne dit que la verite," I said.


"Ah! vous trouvez?"


"Mais, sans doute."


The lesson to which we had that day to submit was such as to make us
very glad when it terminated. At its close, the released, pupils
rushed out, half-trembling, half-exultant. I, too, was going. A
mandate to remain arrested me. I muttered that I wanted some fresh air
sadly--the stove was in a glow, the classe over-heated. An inexorable
voice merely recommended silence; and this salamander--for whom no
room ever seemed too hot--sitting down between my desk and the stove--
a situation in which he ought to have felt broiled, but did not--
proceeded to confront me with--a Greek quotation!
