She was grateful for any little kindness which was shewn her; but at first she kept very much to herself, talking chiefly with the Disagreeable Man, who, by the way, had surprised every one but no one more than himself by his unwonted behaviour in bestowing even a fraction of his companionship on a Petershof human being.
But, if these stories appear childish and trifling, the duty and kindness he hath shewn to his mother must recommend him to every one.

You know the taint in the family as well as I do, it has shewn itself in your actions. Well, go on drinking and you will end in Bedlam instead of the workhouse. They call you 'Mad Rochester'; you know that." She choked. "I have blushed to be known as your sister I have tried to keep my place here and save you. It's ended." She turned to the door.
