Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte

"Oh, papa!" she cried with earnestness, "I will--I _will_ tell
you the truth--all the truth; I am glad to tell you--glad, though I
tremble."

She _did_ tremble: growing excitement, kindling feeling, and also
gathering courage, shook her.

"I hate to hide my actions from you, papa. I fear you and love you
above everything but God. Read the letter; look at the address."
