Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


One evening when, at bedtime, his sisters and I stood round him,
bidding him good-night, he kissed each of them, as was his custom;
and, as was equally his custom, he gave me his hand. Diana, who
chanced to be in a frolicsome humour (SHE was not painfully controlled
by his will; for hers, in another way, was as strong), exclaimed -


"St. John! you used to call Jane your third sister, but you don't
treat her as such: you should kiss her too."
