"Consistency, madam, is the first of Christian duties; and it has been observed in every arrangement connected with the establishment of Lowood: plain fare, simple attire, unsophisticated accommodations, hardy and active habits; such is the order of the day in the house and its inhabitants."
-La conformidad es la mayor virtud del cristiano, y todo está organizado en Lowood de modo que se desarrolle esa virtud: comida sencilla, vestido sencillo, cuartos sencillos, costumbres activas y laboriosas... Tal es el régimen del establecimiento.
