So kneeling, face to face, she speaks with God." It is the living sister speaking for the dead; for Charlotte herself had little of Emily's fine Paganism. It is not only in the large figure of the Titan Shirley that Charlotte Brontë shows her strength.

"I was here when you came peeping out of the college doors this afternoon, and I saw you come up to this niche, and fling away an ink-bottle." Yorke's face flushed scarlet. He was a tall, strong fellow, with a pale complexion, thick, projecting lips, and black hair, promising fair to make a Hercules but all the Yorkes were finely framed.
