by Charlotte Bronte (excerpt)

come up in the interval to seek her thimble or her scissors, or perhaps to bring me something by way of supper-a bun or a cheese-cake-then she
would sit on the bed while I ate it, and when I had finished, she would tuck the dothes round me, and twice she kissed me, and said, "Good night
Miss Jane. When thus gentle, Bessie seemed to me the best. prettiest, kindest being in the world, and I wished most intensely that she would always
be so pleasant and amiable, and never push me about or scold, or task me unreasonably, as she was too often wont to do. Bessie Lee must, I think.
have been a girl of good natural capacity, for she was smart in all she did, and had a remarkable knack of narrative; so, at least, I judge from the
impression made on me by her nursery tales.
