Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


Besides, the words Legacy, Bequest, go side by side with the words,
Death, Funeral. My uncle I had heard was dead -- my only relative;
ever since being made aware of his existence, I had cherished the
hope of one day seeing him: now, I never should. And then this
money came only to me: not to me and a rejoicing family, but to
my isolated self. It was a grand boon doubtless; and independence
would be glorious -- yes, I felt that -- that thought swelled my
heart.
