Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


The clergyman looked up at the speaker and stood mute; the clerk
did the same; Mr. Rochester moved slightly, as if an earthquake had
rolled under his feet: taking a firmer footing, and not turning
his head or eyes, he said, "Proceed."


Profound silence fell when he had uttered that word, with
deep but low intonation. Presently Mr. Wood said -


"I cannot proceed without some investigation into what has been
asserted, and evidence of its truth or falsehood."
