Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

When Jane Eyre heard him introduce this as a lawyer, she guessed their purpose.Mr. Mason's face did not have the bitter hatred and confusion of last time. It seems that they have reached an agreement, and there should be a solution to Bertha's matter.

Seeing that they all looked tired and dusty, Jane Eyre exchanged a few words with them and planned to leave.Mr. Rochester gave John the horse, and called his friends to the dining-room for breakfast.Mrs. Fairfax was as efficient as ever, and soon after seeing the master, she arranged for the maid to clean up the guest room.

Jane Eyre went to the kitchen again, but she still hadn't got a drop of water in it!In the dining room, Mr. Rochester was talking with them, Ellie quickly prepared breakfast for the guests, and she simply got some food for herself.While oatmeal was being cooked, Mrs. Fairfax came into the kitchen with a new task.The host came back temporarily again and brought guests. She was used to such temporary tasks.

"Mrs. Fairfax!" Jane Eyre greeted her, "I have something to tell you."

"Oh! Is it about your uncle? I've already mentioned it to my husband!"

"No! I want to say...Wait, you have already talked to Mr.?" Jane Eyre felt a little overwhelmed, frightened by her efficiency, and even had an inexplicable feeling of "near-native feeling", " God, this makes me nervous! But I just want to say thank you for helping the Li Wen couple—the dry food. Just put it on my account, or I will give it to you now?"

"Oh, those are not worth mentioning at all!" Mrs. Fairfax refused, but seeing that Jane Eyre's face and tone did not seem to be joking, she had to say: "Then you will add a shilling to the kitchen account. Only then did Jane Eyre feel relieved, and solemnly took a shilling from the clip and handed it to Ellie.

Knowing something in her heart, she felt relieved, and planned to go back to her room after breakfast.While still in the "Christmas vacation", she also considered that she might leave Thornfield to find her relatives, but Adele's class could not be delayed.Perhaps Mr. Rochester would look for another governess for her, but she still had an affection for the pupil she had taught for several months.

After leaving the kitchen, she walked along the corridor to the stairs, but suddenly she was attracted by the oil painting hanging on the wall.I noticed the strangeness here when I came to Thornfield on the first day. At that time, it was completely covered by red velvet cloth, similar to the one in the drawing room. The painting was indeed Mr. Rochester and Bertha.It seems that when this portrait was hung, they were just newly married, and they looked like a man and a woman.Bertha is a plump and beautiful woman, with a bright smile on her face, and the charm of a rich lady in her eyebrows. I don't know if it's because of the artist's high level or her own temperament, but she doesn't look like a girl. People who would be crazy.She was sitting in a large armchair, and Mr. Rochester stood very close to her. He was by no means handsome, but youthful vigor and innocence gleamed from his bright eyes.

Jane Eyre looked at this well-maintained oil painting for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh that things are different.I don't know what Mr. Rochester was thinking every time he passed this aisle.

After a while, Jane Eyre sighed and continued to walk up the stairs.Suddenly, that strange feeling reappeared.It was already bright this time, she froze for a moment and hurriedly looked around, but found nothing.She shook her head, could it be that she was too sensitive?

She suddenly heard a faint laughter coming from above her head.He was so frightened that his heart stopped suddenly, but when he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes flashing through the gap in the fence of the stairs on the third floor.

'It's Bertha!She ran out?Where is Mrs Poole? 'Jane Eyre's heart was beating very fast, she wanted to rush up, but she stopped when she stepped on the stairs.With her small body, even if she were to meet Bertha, she would not be able to beat her!Who can contain a lunatic without getting hurt!

She stopped in her tracks, remembering that there was some quicklime piled up on the wasteland outside, and she didn't know what it was for.She lifted her skirt, opened the side door and ran out, wrapped some quicklime in a handkerchief and hid it in her pocket.The power of quicklime is not small. If something happens, it can also buy time for yourself to escape.

Bertha just hid when she saw her, maybe she didn't want to face her?Jane Eyre was in a mess.

After finishing these preparations, she went upstairs three steps at a time, wanting to go back to the room quickly, fearing that something terrible would happen again.But on the way, he was blocked by Mr. Rochester who opened the door.

"Miss Jane, come into the study." He ordered.

Without hesitation, Jane Eyre quickly followed him into the study.She felt much safer with other people. "Mr. Rochester, Mrs. Mason...I seem to have seen her just now!"

"It's impossible." Mr. Rochester denied subconsciously, and he frowned, "Sorry, I don't doubt whether you will tell a lie...Maybe you are wrong, Mrs. Poole will never let her out." He thought about it again, the night before he was rescued by Jane Eyre, Bertha also ran out secretly, and he couldn't help but become suspicious. "Wait a minute, I'll go and have a look." Without waiting for her response, he strode out of the study, and Jane Eyre heard him go upstairs.

After a while, he came back: "The door upstairs is still locked, Miss Jane. It seems that you are sensitive." He closed the door casually, sat on the armchair behind the desk, and signaled that she was also there. Sit down in front of him.Jane Eyre was still in shock, but she wondered if she was really sensitive, and she was wrong.

Mr. Rochester seems to have planned to invite her to the study, and the tea on the table has already been poured.Jane Eyre picked up the cup and took a sip: "Then, what are you looking for me for? Is it... my uncle's business?"

"Yes, Miss Jane. Mrs. Fairfax has told me. Madeira--I have indeed been to it, it is a beautiful place, and Mr. John Eyre, I am not sure I have seen ..."

"That's natural. He should have been a worker when he went to Madeira Islands." They were not from the same class, and even if they met, they wouldn't be impressed.

"I'm happy for you, Miss Jane. What a blessing it is to have relatives alive." Mr. Rochester seemed to be thinking of his own experience, with an indescribably lonely expression on his face, but he only allowed himself to be vulnerable for a few seconds , and soon resumed the attitude of the manor owner, "My friend also has property in Madeira Islands, and I will send people to Madeira to inspect the property next month. I will write to him and let him pay attention to it for you. .”

Jane Eyre did not expect that her troubles could be solved so easily with Mr. Rochester. She said gratefully, "Thank you so much! I must pay for the entrustment fee, and I have saved some savings myself!"

Mr. Rochester did not refuse, but nodded acquiescingly, "Then, besides this matter, I thought you had something else to ask me."
