Elizabeth Gaskell Quotes

Mr. Thornton felt that in this influx no one was speaking to Margaret, and was restless under this apparent neglect. But he never went near her himself; he did not look at her.

Margaret was so unconscious of herself, and so much amused by watching other people, that she never thought whether she was left unnoticed or not.
