But in other situations - like with some of the things she said while falling in love with the curate - she seemed too content to do absolutely nothing.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941919404657989208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051106060931115150.post-74821674100471115752012-11-27T18:38:45.709-05:002012-11-27T18:38:45.709-05:00I'm glad to know this is a good place to start...I'm glad to know this is a good place to start while reading Bronte.

When she tried to discipline, she was told off for being too harsh and when she left discipline to the parents, she was told off for being too lax.<br /><br />I do have a soft spot for this book though, I'm a teacher and could relate to much of Agnes' experiences.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.com
