The Life of Charlotte Bronte - Volume 1

CHAPTER VII
10/34

Anne, like her eldest sister, was shy; Emily was reserved.
Branwell was rather a handsome boy, with "tawny" hair, to use Miss Bronte's phrase for a more obnoxious colour.

All were very clever, original, and utterly different to any people or family "E." had ever seen before.

But, on the whole, it was a happy visit to all parties.
Charlotte says, in writing to "E.," just after her return home--"Were I to tell you of the impression you have made on every one here, you would accuse me of flattery.

Papa and aunt are continually adducing you as an example for me to shape my actions and behaviour by.

Emily and Anne say 'they never saw any one they liked so well as you.' And Tabby, whom you have absolutely fascinated, talks a great deal more nonsense about your ladyship than I care to repeat.
