Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I was walking one mild afternoon on a quiet boulevard, wandering
slowly on, enjoying the benign April sun, and some thoughts not
unpleasing, when I saw before me a group of riders, stopping as if
they had just encountered, and exchanging greetings in the midst of
the broad, smooth, linden-bordered path; on one side a middle-aged
gentleman and young lady, on the other--a young and handsome man. Very
graceful was the lady's mien, choice her appointments, delicate and
stately her whole aspect. Still, as I looked, I felt they were known
to me, and, drawing a little nearer, I fully recognised them all: the
Count Home de Bassompierre, his daughter, and Dr. Graham Bretton.
