Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"He may well--he may well fear me. He has touched the best thing I
have. Had he but let her alone, she would have remained a child for
years yet. So. Are they engaged?"


"They could not become engaged without your permission."


"It is well for you, Miss Snowe, to talk and think with that propriety
which always characterizes you; but this matter is a grief to me; my
little girl was all I had: I have no more daughters and no son;
Bretton might as well have looked elsewhere; there are scores of rich
and pretty women who would not, I daresay, dislike him: he has looks,
and conduct, and connection. Would nothing serve him but my Polly?"
