Excerpt from Charlotte Bronté

Very soon the charge was widely circulated that Charlotte Bronte had satirized Thackeray, under the character of Rochester, bringing to light the sorrows of his private life. Her publishers immediately corrected the report, and when she next visited London she was introduced to Thackeray, who afterward paid her this tribute I remember the trembling, little frame, the little hand, the great, honest eyes. She gave me the impression of being a very pure, lofty, and high-minded person. As one thinks of that life, so noble, so lovely, of that passion for truth, of those nights of eager study, swarming fancies, invention, depression, elation, prayer; as one reads the necessarily incomplete, though most touching and admirable, history of the heart that throbbed in this one littleframe, with What awe do we await the tomorrow, when that which is now but darkly seen shall be clear. How well I remember the delight and won der and pleasure with which I read Jane Eyre,' sent to me by an author whose name and sex were then alike unknown to me; and how, my own work pressing upon me, I could not, having taken the volume up, lay it down until it was read through.
