Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Leave her to me; it is a crisis: I will give her a cordial, and it
will pass," said the calm Madame Beck.


To be left to her and her cordial seemed to me something like being
left to the poisoner and her bowl. When M. Paul answered deeply,
harshly, and briefly--"Laissez-moi!" in the grim sound I felt a music
strange, strong, but life-giving.


"Laissez-moi!" he repeated, his nostrils opening, and his facial
muscles all quivering as he spoke.
