The Life of Charlotte Brontë by Elizabeth Gaskell

I began with the youngest (Anne, afterwards Acton Bell), and asked what a child like her most wanted she answered “Age and experience.” I asked the next (Emily, afterwards Ellis Bell), what I had best do with her brother Bramwell, who was sometimes a naughty boy she answered, “Reason with him, and when he won’t listen to reason, whip him.” I asked Bramwell what was the best way of knowing the difference between the intellects of men and women he answered, “By considering the difference between them as to their bodies.”

When my children were very young, when, as far as I can remember, the oldest was about ten years of age, and the youngest about four, thinking that they knew more than I had yet discovered, in order to make them speak with less timidity, I deemed that if they were put under a sort of cover I might gain my end and happening to have a mask in the house, I told them all to stand and speak boldly from under cover of the mask.
