Evidence: | [Charlotte Bronte to Constantin Heger (in source eds' translation from French), 24 July 1844:]
'I greatly fear that I shall forget French [...] To avoid such a misfortune I learn every day by
heart half a page of French from a book written in familiar style: and I take pleasure in
learning this lesson, Monsieur; as I pronounce the French words it seems to me as if I were
chatting with you.' |
