beau–brummell:

In this biography of Charlotte Brontë, it’s noted that Anne Brontë may have been involved romantically (or at least, a little bit in love with) her father’s beautiful young curate, William Weightman. I thought ‘How handsome can a nerdy little man circa. 1840s Northern England be’ until I saw this sketch of him, probably drawn from life by Charlotte. This beauty is wasted on Methodist clergy!
