Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


And was I grateful? God knows! I believe that scarce a living being so
remembered, so sustained, dealt with in kind so constant, honourable
and noble, could be otherwise than grateful to the death.


Adherent to his own religion (in him was not the stuff of which is
made the facile apostate), he freely left me my pure faith. He did not
tease nor tempt. He said:--


"Remain a Protestant. My little English Puritan, I love Protestantism
in you. I own its severe charm. There is something in its ritual I
cannot receive myself, but it is the sole creed for 'Lucy.'"
