I had known what it was to come back to Gateshead when a child after a long walk, to be scolded for looking cold or gloomy; and later, what it was to come back from church to Lowood, to long for a plenteous meal and a good fire, and to be unable to get either.

The return to Thornfield was yet to be tried."
"An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris."
