Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


She stood looking at him a minute. She wanted to show firmness,
superiority to taunts; knowing her father's character, guessing his
few foibles, she had expected the sort of scene which was now
transpiring; it did not take her by surprise, and she desired to let
it pass with dignity, reliant upon reaction. Her dignity stood her in
no stead. Suddenly her soul melted in her eyes; she fell on his neck:
--"I won't leave you, papa; I'll never leave you. I won't pain you!
I'll never pain you!" was her cry.
