Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I made no answer. Graham Bretton had dined with us that day; he had
shone both in converse and looks: I know not what pride of bloom
embellished his aspect and mellowed his intercourse. Under the
stimulus of a high hope, something had unfolded in his whole manner
which compelled attention. I think he had purposed on that day to
indicate the origin of his endeavours, and the aim of his ambition. M.
de Bassompierre had found himself forced, in a manner, to descry the
direction and catch the character of his homage. Slow in remarking, he
was logical in reasoning: having once seized the thread, it had guided
him through a long labyrinth.
