He Didn't Like Charlotte
The late M. Heger, the principal of the school, at Brussels, whom Charlotte Bronte immortalized in "Villette," was 86 years old at the time of his recent ! death, but he still cherished bitterness toward the little English governess, who used him as the model for the hero of her book, "Paul Emanuel." He looked upon her couree as having been prompted by revenge, because she considered Mme. Heger was responsible for shortening Miss Bronte's stay in Brussels. Neither the worthy couple nor their family nor friends could ever be persuaded that the novelist's act was not entirely due to malice. One Maine man has gone into the unique business of raising doves for weddings, parties, etc.
