Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Ah, M. de Bassompierre--not so--that can't be! But Paulina must speak
for herself: and Dr. Bretton, too, must be his own advocate."


"It is a little late. Matters are advanced, it seems."


"Sir, till you approve, nothing is done--only they love each other."


"Only!" he echoed.


Invested by fate with the part of confidante and mediator, I was
obliged to go on: "Hundreds of times has Dr. Bretton been on the point
of appealing to you, sir; but, with all his high courage, he fears you
mortally."
