Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"You shall walk up the pyramids of Egypt!" he growled. "At your
peril you advertise! I wish I had only offered you a sovereign
instead of ten pounds. Give me back nine pounds, Jane; I've a use
for it."


"And so have I, sir," I returned, putting my hands and my purse
behind me. "I could not spare the money on any account."


"Little niggard!" said he, "refusing me a pecuniary request! Give
me five pounds, Jane."
