“Behind the house at the Rue Fossette there was a garden--large, considering that it lay in the heart of a city, and to my recollection it seemed pleasant: but time, like distance, lends to certain scenes an influence so softening; and where all is stone around, blank wall and hot pavement, how precious seems one shrub, how lovely an enclosed and planted spot of ground!” — Charlotte Brontë
