Life of Charlotte Bronte

First Sentence

ALTHOUGH there is not much, nay-if Shakespeare will have it so-nothing in a name, lovers of English literature may yet be a little thankful that the father of the two women who were respectively to write "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights," took occasion, before exchanging the air of his native Ireland for that of St. John's College, Cambridge, to turn his paternal Prunty into the more euphonious surname which the genius of his daughters has made famous.
