Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"I think not; and if I were, it does not much signify; I shall
never be called upon to contend for such another. The event of the
conflict is decisive: my way is now clear; I thank God for it!"
So saying, he returned to his papers and his silence.


As our mutual happiness (i.e., Diana's, Mary's, and mine) settled
into a quieter character, and we resumed our usual habits and regular
studies, St. John stayed more at home: he sat with us in the same
room, sometimes for hours together. While Mary drew, Diana pursued
a course of encyclopaedic reading she had (to my awe and amazement)
undertaken, and I fagged away at German, he pondered a mystic lore
of his own: that of some Eastern tongue, the acquisition of which
he thought necessary to his plans.
