Charlotte's huffs

The Times reviews Jane's Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World by Claire Harman and Charlotte Brontë's ineffable opinion of Jane Austen's novels is once again quoted:

George Eliot's lover GH Lewes tried to persuade Charlotte Bronte that Austen was a great artist (“Can there be a great artist without poetry?” huffed Bronte), and the Queen enjoyed reading Northanger Abbey to “dear Albert”. (John Carey)
