Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"But I do think hardly of you," I said; "and I'll tell you why --
not so much because you refused to give me shelter, or regarded me
as an impostor, as because you just now made it a species of reproach
that I had no 'brass' and no house. Some of the best people that
ever lived have been as destitute as I am; and if you are a Christian,
you ought not to consider poverty a crime."


"No more I ought," said she: "Mr. St. John tells me so too; and
I see I wor wrang -- but I've clear a different notion on you now
to what I had. You look a raight down dacent little crater."
