"Against my will, my eyes were drawn to his face. I compared him with his guests. He was not attractive in the normal sense, but his colourless face, square heavy forehead, deep eyes, firm mouth - all decision, energy and will-power - were full of interest to me. I had not intended to love him, but the first time I saw him again, I was defeated by my feelings. He made me love him without even looking at me."

Jane Eyre, Carlotte Brontë
