Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"This is acting on first impulses; you must take days to consider
such a matter, ere your word can be regarded as valid."


"Oh! if all you doubt is my sincerity, I am easy: you see the
justice of the case?"


"I DO see a certain justice; but it is contrary to all custom.
Besides, the entire fortune is your right: my uncle gained it by
his own efforts; he was free to leave it to whom he would: he left
it to you. After all, justice permits you to keep it: you may,
with a clear conscience, consider it absolutely your own."
