Jane-eyre Quote by Charlotte Brontë
““Diana announced that she would just give me time to get over the honey-moon, and then she would come and see me. 'She had better not wait till then, Jane,' said Mr. Rochester, when I read her letter to him; 'if she does, she will be too late, for our honey-moon will shine our life-long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.””
