13 October 1843
Charlotte writes to Ellen Nussey from Brussels:

'It is a curious position to be so utterly solitary in the midst of numbers - sometimes this solitude oppresses me to an excess'. She continues to describe how she was driven to give her notice to Mde Heger, but upon hearing this Mon Heger 'sent for me the day after - and pronounced with vehemence his decision that I should not leave ... so I promised to stay a while longer ... I have much to say Ellen ... which I do not like to trust to a letter, but which one day perhaps or rather one evening - if ever we should find ourselves again by the fireside at Haworth or at Brookroyd with our feet on the fender - curling our hair - I may communicate to you'.
