I would as soon see you, Mr. Rochester, tricked out in stage-trappings, as myself clad in a court-lady's robe; and I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me."
Así como yo no le llamo hermoso, a pesar de lo mucho que le amo, para no adularle, tampoco debe usted adularme a mí.
