The two phases of Miss Brontë in this romance are Miss Mary Lawson, an Irish governess at the de Morville establishment; and Mademoiselle Lagrange, a former governess at the same house. The Mademoiselle Lagrange is, however, always referred to in the abstract, and serves to illustrate, it appears, Miss Brontë before her first departure from and return to Brussels, as well as after, for she was twice at the Hégers. And it may be observed that Charlotte Brontë was called "Mademoiselle Charlotte" at the Héger _pension_ when she was governess there in 1843. Certainly the choice of Lagrange for Miss Brontë was pertinent: _la grange_ is French for "the barn," and may have been suggested by the Eyre of _Jane Eyre_, which to a French ear would recall _aire_--a barn floor.

This manuscript has been sent by the author for an opinion of its merits to M. de Morville, who reads it aloud to his family. It is a parody, as it were, of _Jane Eyre_, with an imitation of Charlotte Brontë's methods of introducing private biographical facts. For instance, in presenting the Lowood school incidents it calls the school "the Kendall Institute," named after "a Mr. Kendall, its founder." Evidently the writer had heard, as only few indeed had at this early day, that the Lowood school of _Jane Eyre_ was afterwards removed to Casterton in the Union of Kendal, or had heard that in a wise it was connected with a place of that name.
