Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


He left me soothed, yet full of solicitude, breathing a wish, as
strong as a prayer, that if I were wrong, Heaven would lead me right.
I heard, poured forth on the threshold, some fervid murmurings to
"Marie, Reine du Ciel," some deep aspiration that _his_ hope
might yet be _mine_.


Strange! I had no such feverish wish to turn him from the faith of his
fathers. I thought Romanism wrong, a great mixed image of gold and
clay; but it seemed to me that _this_ Romanist held the purer
elements of his creed with an innocency of heart which God must love.
