Lucy is left without a family, a home, or any money due to an unexplained family tragedy. She is employed by Miss Marchmont, a rheumatically disabled woman, as a career.Miss Marchmont shares her sad love story of 30 years ago with Lucy and concludes that she should treat Lucy better. She believes that death will reunite her with her dead lover. She thrives despite Mme. Beck was always watching over the staff and students.Lucy gets to know her coworker, the obnoxious, autocratic, and combative professor M. Paul Emanuel, progressively better.

(Thornton, 1816 - Haworth, 1855) British writer, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters (Charlotte, Emily, and Anne) and the only one who enjoyed popularity during her lifetime thanks to Jane Eyre (1847), a novel that established her in the literary world. Daughter of the Anglican pastor Patrick Brontë, Charlotte Brontë lived with her family for most of her childhood, amidst that rugged and desolate landscape that would reappear as the backdrop of the fantastic and romantic episodes of her novels and those of her sister Emily.
