Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


And Alfred appeared from the inner salon, where he was talking to
Madame Beck, receiving the blended felicitations and reprimands of
that lady. I was presented under my various names: the Dragon,
Diogenes, and Timon. The young Colonel was very polite. He made me a
prettily-turned, neatly-worded apology, about the ghost-visits, &c.,
concluding with saying that "the best excuse for all his iniquities
stood there!" pointing to his bride.
