1847 Having thus acknowledged what I owe those who have aided and approved me, I turn to another class; a small one, so far as I know, but not, therefore, to be overlooked. I mean the timorous or carping few who doubt the tendency of such books as "Jane Eyre:" in whose eyes whatever is unusual is wrong; whose ears detect in each protest against bigotry -- that parent of crime -- an insult to piety, that regent of God on earth. I would suggest to such doubters certain obvious distinctions; I would remind them of certain simple truths. — Charlotte Bronte, Preface to 2nd London edition of Jane Eyre.
2005 Written as a ripost to Samuel Constant’s short story "Le Mari sentimental", in which the husband is driven to despair and ultimately suicide by his carping wife, Mistress Henly begins with an account of the wife’s reading of the Constant story and how as a reader she links the text of imagination to the realities of her own life.Title:Through The Reading Glass ISBN 0791464210 Publisher:SUNY Press.

From Latin ibi, there.Despite the many similarities between the modern Catalan hi and the modern French y, it is a matter of debate at what stage the distinction between the two forms occurred. In both the langue d'oc and in Proto-Iberian dialects of vulgar Latin (the two most probable sources of the pronoun in medieval Catalan), ibi became contracted first to vi and then to hi: the transformation in the langue d'oïl, and thence to Middle French, is less clear.
