Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


The other was as certainly Georgiana: but not the Georgiana
I remembered -- the slim and fairy-like girl of eleven. This was
a full-blown, very plump damsel, fair as waxwork, with handsome
and regular features, languishing blue eyes, and ringleted yellow
hair. The hue of her dress was black too; but its fashion was so
different from her sister's -- so much more flowing and becoming
-- it looked as stylish as the other's looked puritanical.


In each of the sisters there was one trait of the mother -- and only
one; the thin and pallid elder daughter had her parent's Cairngorm
eye: the blooming and luxuriant younger girl had her contour of
jaw and chin -- perhaps a little softened, but still imparting an
indescribable hardness to the countenance otherwise so voluptuous
and buxom.
