“But that’s only six months ago, and here is the book in my hand!”
“Yes, papa. The book was printed a month later after I sent it to the publisher.”
“My dear! They decided very quickly that they liked it, then!”
“I think they did, papa. After all, it is a good book, isn’t it?”
She smiled at me. I don’t think I have ever seen her so happy. She is a very small person. Charlotte, and not a beautiful woman, but when she smiles like that, her face shines like a fine painting. My wife used to look like that sometimes when I first met her.
I took her hand in mine. “It is a very good book, my dear. I cannot tell you how proud I am.”
She touched my hand. “Thank you, papa. But you must not be proud of me alone. You know, another two of your daughters—Anne and Emily…”
“Oh, no, Charlotte, please!” Emily said.
But Charlotte did not stop. “Anne and Emily have written good books too, and their books will soon be published as well! Let me introduce them to you, papa. These young ladies—Anne and Emily, are “not” your daughters—they are separately ACTon Bell and Ellis Bell, brothers of the famous writer Currer Bell!”
Emily’s face was bright red, but Anne and Charlotte started laughing. I was very surprised.
“All three of you!” I said. “But—but why do you use these strange names?”
“Because people are stupid, papa.” Anne said. “No one thinks women can write good books, so we have used men’s names. And now they say that Currer Bell is a writer who understands women very well!” She laughed again.

A. Because she hated to change the paper. B. Because she liked the paper very much.
