Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


Paulina sat between the two gentlemen: while they conversed, her
little hands were busy at some work; I thought at first she was
binding a nosegay. No; with the tiny pair of scissors, glittering in
her lap, she had severed spoils from each manly head beside her, and
was now occupied in plaiting together the grey lock and the golden
wave. The plait woven--no silk-thread being at hand to bind it--a
tress of her own hair was made to serve that purpose; she tied it like
a knot, prisoned it in a locket, and laid it on her heart.
