Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Miss Snowe," said he, laying it down, "do you know my little girl's
age?"


"About eighteen, is it not, sir?"


"It seems so. This old pocket-book tells me she was born on the 5th of
May, in the year 18--, eighteen years ago. It is strange; I had lost
the just reckoning of her age. I thought of her as twelve--fourteen--
an indefinite date; but she seemed a child."


"She is about eighteen," I repeated. "She is grown up; she will be no
taller."
