The Brontë Cabinet Quotes

“A Victorian woman had promised that when her close friend died she would bury with her letters from a son who had predeceased her. But the woman forgot, when their friend indeed died, to include the letters in her grave. Luckily, a local postman died soon afterward, and the woman buried the letters with him, assuming that he would deliver the letters to her friend in his next existence.”
