Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


A little before dark I passed a farm-house, at the open door
of which the farmer was sitting, eating his supper of bread
and cheese. I stopped and said -


"Will you give me a piece of bread? for I am very hungry." He cast
on me a glance of surprise; but without answering, he cut a thick
slice from his loaf, and gave it to me. I imagine he did not think
I was a beggar, but only an eccentric sort of lady, who had taken
a fancy to his brown loaf. As soon as I was out of sight of his
house, I sat down and ate it.
