Oh yes, she (the Governess) was making Charlotte memorise Omar Khayyám haha. it must have been the stanza:
Shapes of all Sorts and Sizes, great and small,
That stood along the floor and by the wall;
And some loquacious Vessels were; and some
Listen'd perhaps, but never talk'd at all.
That gave her the idea of small and not talking at all ;)
