Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Such being the case, I felt not a little surprised when he raised
his head suddenly from the desk over which he was stooping, and said -

"You see, Jane, the battle is fought and the victory won."

Startled at being thus addressed, I did not immediately
reply: after a moment's hesitation I answered -

"But are you sure you are not in the position of those conquerors
whose triumphs have cost them too dear? Would not such another
ruin you?"
