from Jane Eyre (#2), by Charlotte Bronte

"Do you ever laugh, Miss Eyre? Don't trouble yourself to answer -- I see, you laugh rarely; but you can laugh very merrily: believe me, you are not naturally austere, any more than I am naturally vicious. The Lowood constraint still clings to you somewhat; controlling your features, muffling your voice, and restricting your limbs, and you fear in the presence of a man and a brother."
