24:11Then why are we called charity children?
24:14Well, because £15 a year is not enough for board and teaching.
24:18The deficiency is supplied by benevolent-minded ladies and gentlemen from here and in London.
24:24Who is Naomi Brocklehurst?
24:26She's the mother of the gentleman who's treasurer and manager of this establishment.
24:33Then this house does not belong to the lady who wears a watch
24:36and who gave us bread and cheese when the porridge was burnt.
24:39To Miss Temple?
24:41No, I wish it did.
24:44She has to answer to Mr. Brocklehurst for all she does.
24:47He buys all our food and all our clothes.
24:49But we make our own, and I am still hungry.
24:52Yes.
24:54Is Mr. Brocklehurst a good man?
24:56He's a clergyman and is said to do a great deal of good.
25:03Miss Millar, Miss Gatred.
25:06Miss Temple, I trust we shall find all in order.
25:10At her last visit, as I recall, there was an irregularity respecting superfluous blankets.
25:16You countermanded the order for them, sir.
25:18The girls have since shivered for it.
25:21Souls, Miss Temple, souls.
25:23Not mortal flesh.
25:25Mrs. Brocklehurst.
25:26What is your name, besides Burns?
25:27Helen.
25:28I'm Jane.
25:29Are you happy here?
25:30You ask rather too many questions.
25:31I've given you enough answers for the present.
25:33Now I want to read.
25:35Why did you let Miss Scadsword hitchhifts?
25:36What is your name, besides Burns?
25:37Helen.
25:38I'm Jane.
25:39Are you happy here?
25:40You ask rather too many questions.
25:42I've given you enough answers for the present.
25:43Now I want to read.
25:44Jane. Are you happy here? You ask rather too many questions. I've given you enough answers for the
25:53present. Now I want to read. Why did you let Miss Scatchard hit you like that? It was cruel.
26:07She is severe. She dislikes my faults. She struck me. I'd resist. I'd break the rod under her nose.
26:17Probably you'd do nothing of the sort. But if you did, Mr Brockle has to expel you from the school.
26:22It's far better to endure patiently a slight which nobody feels but yourself than to commit a hasty
26:29action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you. Besides, the Bible bids us
26:36return good for evil. But to be singled out for punishment before so many people, I could not
26:43bear it. It would be your duty to bear it if you could not avoid it.
26:47Who introduced this innovation? A lunch of bread and cheese? I did, sir. The breakfast was so ill-prepared
27:13my pupils could not eat it. I dared not allow them to remain fasting until dinner time.
27:19But, madam, you are aware that my plan in bringing up these girls is not to accustom them to luxury,
27:25but to render them self-denying. The accidental spoiling of a meal ought not to be neutralized by
27:30replacing the comfort lost with something more delicate. A brief address on such an occasion
27:36would not be mistimed, wherein a judicious instructor would refer to the sufferings of the primitive
27:43Christians, the torments of the martyrs, the exhortations of our blessed Lord himself,
27:48calling upon his disciples to take up their cross and follow him, and warning us that man shall not
27:53live by bread alone. Oh, madam, why did you not remind them of his very words? If ye suffer hunger and thirst
28:00for my sake, happy are ye? Miss Temple. That girl, with curled hair. Red hair, ma'am. Curled all over.
28:14She is Julia Seven, sir. Her hair curls naturally. Naturally? We are not to conform to nature here.
28:22I desire hair to be arranged closely, modestly, plainly. Tell the senior class to direct their faces
28:30to the wall.
28:38Turn over, the girls.
28:40My dear, the girl's hair. I shall send the barber tomorrow.
28:43All these troplots must be cut off. But, sir... All turn.
29:03Madam, my mission here is to mortify in these girls the lusts of the flesh, teaching them to clothe
29:14themselves with shamefacedness and not with the braided excrescences of Babylon. We all have a master
29:21to serve whose kingdom is not of this world.
29:27A new pupil, I perceive. A careless girl. I have a word to say respecting her.
29:34Do not be afraid, Jane. I saw it was an accident.
29:38Get the child who broke her slates. Come forward.
29:39Fetch that stool.
29:44Place the child upon it.
29:56Ladies. Miss Temple.
29:59Teachers and children, you see this girl?
30:03She is yet young.
30:05Who would believe that the evil one has already found a servant and an agent in her?
30:11Yet such, I grieve to say it, is the case.
30:14Children, it is my melancholy duty to warn you to be on your guard against her.
30:19Shun her example. Avoid her company. Teachers, watch her.
30:25Way well her words. Scrutinize her actions.
30:29Because, because, my tongue falters as I tell it. This girl is a liar.
30:38There was I then, mounted aloft, I who had said I could not bear the shame of public reproof.
30:46This I learned from her benefactress, a pious and charitable lady,
30:52who adopted her in her orphan state and reared her as her own with her own.
30:59And how did this girl repay her kindness?
31:03With an ingratitude so dreadful that at last her patroness was forced to separate her from her own young
31:09ones, lest her vicious example contaminate their purity. She is here to be healed by correction.
31:20Let her stand on that stool half an hour longer, and let no one speak to her for the remainder of the day.
31:27Come, ladies.
31:39Jane, come, drink something.
32:02Come, drink something.
32:05I could not yet abate my agitation, though I tried hard.
32:09Helen remained as silent as an Indian. I was the first who spoke.
32:16Helen, why do you stay with a girl? Everybody believes is a liar.
32:20Everybody, Jane. Why, only this small school in the whole great world has heard you called so.
32:27I don't care about the world. When the people here despise me.
32:32Oh, if you're mistaken, they don't. Probably not one person in the school despises or dislikes you.
32:40Many, I'm sure, pity you.
32:43How can they? After what Mr. Brocklehurst said?
32:47Mr. Brocklehurst is not a god, Jane. He's not even a great and admired man.
32:53He's little liked here. He never took steps to make himself liked.
32:57Had he treated you as a favourite, you'd have found enemies.
33:01Now, come, drink your coffee while it's still warm.
33:06Besides, if all the world hated you and believed you wicked when you were innocent,
33:11you'd not be without friends.
33:12But I would be. Nobody would love me. I'd rather die than not be loved.
33:20Hush, Jane. You think too much of the love of human beings.
33:26Besides this earth and besides the race of men, there is an invisible world and a kingdom of spirits.
33:33That world is round us. It's everywhere. And those spirits, which are angels, watch us, guard us.
33:42They recognise our innocence, if innocent we be.
33:46And God waits only the separation of spirit from flesh to crown us with a full reward.
33:52Why then should we ever sink, overwhelmed with distress, when life is so soon past,
34:09and death so certain an entrance to happiness, to glory?
34:14Is it all over? I came on purpose to find you, Jane. I want you to come to my room.
34:24And as Helen Burns is with you, she may come too. Have you cried your grief away?
34:31I'm afraid I shall never do that.
34:33Why? Because I've been wrongly accused. And you, ma'am, and everybody else will now think me wicked.
34:43We shall think you what you prove yourself to be, my child.
34:48Continue to act as a good girl and you will satisfy me.
34:52Shall I?
34:54Come. I want you to tell me about the lady who sent you here.
35:03So Mr. Brocklehurst was mistaken when he implied Mrs. Reed had adopted you of her own accord.
35:12My uncle made her promise to keep me just before he died.
35:15Or so the servants told me.
35:18Well, Jane, I shall write to this Mr. Lloyd, your apothecary,
35:22and if his reply agrees with your statements here tonight,
35:26you shall be publicly cleared from every imputation.
35:29To me, Jane, you are clear now.
35:36As I'm sure you are with Helen.
35:39So now you have two people who believe you.
35:43Well, Helen, have you coughed much today?
35:46Not quite so much, I think, ma'am.
35:48Is the pain in your chest?
35:50It is a little better.
35:51I, in my ignorance, was puzzled by her concern for Helen's cough.
36:01Have you enjoyed the book I lent you, Helen?
36:03Brassless, ma'am.
36:04It has impressed me.
36:06Dr. Johnson's stoicism is sombre but very grand.
36:11Jane did not like the look of it because it had no pictures.
36:16Jane is yet young.
36:17I then recalled a line or two from a poem of his.
36:23Yes?
36:24Must helpless man in innocence sedate
36:27roll darkling down the torrent of his fate?
36:30I hope Dr. Johnson denied that idea, does he?
36:34Oh, yes, yes, he says.
36:36Inquirer, cease.
36:38Petitions yet remain which heaven may hear nor deem religion vain.
36:43Still raise for good the supplicating voice.
36:47But leave to heaven the measure and the choice.
36:52And so we shall.
36:54Bless you, my children.
37:02And inquiry having been made into the allegations against Jane Eyre,
37:06she is completely cleared from every imputation.
37:11Jane, I'm very glad.
37:14And I'm glad too, Jane.
37:16Come along.
37:17Monitors for the books and form classes.
37:20I'm glad to be here.
37:21Yes, it is.
37:22Thus relieved of a grievous burden, I set to work afresh.
37:30I toiled hard.
37:31My memory improved with practice.
37:33Exercise sharpened my wits.
37:34I learned the first two tenses of the verb etre and sketched my first cottage,
37:40whose walls, by the way, I'd rivaled in slope those of the leaning tower of Pisa.
37:46And soon, I would not have exchanged Lowood with all its privations
37:50for Gateshead and its daily luxuries.
38:05Oh, can I help?
38:15Oh no, not Julia Seven as well.
38:17Help her, Miss Gatchett.
38:19Of course.
38:29They all seem half starved.
38:31The prime cause of the infection, probably.
38:33No doubt about it.
38:36Doctor.
38:40Come along now.
38:41We'll get you in bed.
38:42It's only too clear.
38:50The wretched food, the fetid water in which it's prepared,
38:53the threadbare clothing of the pupils.
38:55These are the causes, sir, and you the provider of them.
39:12Miss Gatchett, Miss Temple.
39:19Absolutely scandalous.
39:20Indeed it is.
39:22Will you tell him?
39:22Yes, I will.
39:25We shall recommend that a committee is formed to manage this school, Mr. Brocklehurst.
39:29A committee of persons with more enlarged and sympathizing minds than yours, sir.
39:34We wish you a good day.
39:36Good day, sir.
39:42Helen?
40:04Why are you coming?
40:06It's late.
40:09I thought they are mistaken.
40:11She's not going to die.
40:14She could not speak so calmly if she were.
40:17Have you come to bid me goodbye?
40:19Are you going somewhere, Helen?
40:21Are you going home?
40:23Yes, to my last home.
40:26No.
40:27No, you mustn't.
40:30The other girls are recovering now.
40:31But I have consumption, not Typhus' fever, Jane.
40:41Jane, your feet are bare.
40:52Come.
40:53Lie down and cover yourself with my colt.
40:55I'm very happy, Jane.
41:05When you hear I'm dead, you must be sure and not grieve.
41:10By dying, young, I shall escape great sufferings.
41:12I have not qualities or talents to make my way very well in the world.
41:20Where are you going to?
41:21Do you know?
41:22I believe, I have faith, I'm going to God.
41:28Where is God?
41:31What is God?
41:33My maker and yours.
41:35I rely implicitly on his power and confide wholly in his goodness.
41:42How comfortable I am.
41:46I feel I could sleep.
41:49But don't leave me, Jane.
41:53I'd like to have you near me.
41:55I'll stay.
41:57I'll stay.
42:06I learned later that Miss Temple, on returning at dawn, had found me,
42:10my face against Helen Byrne's shoulder, my arms around her neck.
42:14I was asleep, and Helen was dead.
42:24Hitherto, I have recorded in detail the events of my insignificant existence.
42:29This is not to be a regular autobiography.
42:32I am only bound to invoke memory where I know her responses will possess interest.
42:37Therefore, I now pass over a space of eight years, almost, in silence.
42:42Six years as a pupil, two as a teacher at Lowood.
42:47I desired liberty, and for liberty I uttered a prayer.
42:52It seemed scattered on the wind.
42:54I abandoned it and framed a humbler supplication for change.
43:01That petition, too, seemed swept off into vague space.
43:04Then I cried, half desperate.
43:08Grant me at least a new servitude.
43:17Oh, shall I have the pleasure of seeing Miss Fairfax this evening?
43:32Miss Fairfax?
43:35Oh, you mean Miss Varron.
43:37Varron is the name of your future pupil.
43:39She's Mr. Rochester's ward.
43:40Mr. Rochester?
43:42But who is he?
43:44The owner of the hall.
43:48Did you not know he was called Rochester?
43:50I thought the hall belonged to you, Mrs. Fairfax.
43:54Since you answered my advertisement.
43:56To me?
43:58Why, bless you, child. What an idea.
44:02I'm just the housekeeper.
44:05Though, to be sure, I am distantly related to the Rochesters on the mother's side.
44:12Thank you, John.
44:21This is your room, Miss Eyre.
44:26I hope you'll be comfortable.
44:28You must be tired after traveling all day.
44:30Yes, I am a little.
44:32Good evening, Grace.
44:33Evening, ma'am.
44:36Good night, Miss Eyre.
44:39Oh, good night.
44:42My prayer for a new servitude had been granted.
44:53And I was grateful.
44:56By the expedient of placing an advertisement in the county newspaper,
45:00I had secured a competency as a governess.
45:02My pupil was to be one little girl of nine years.
45:07And my salary, £30 per annum.
45:14The place was called Thornfield, in Yorkshire.
45:17I considered myself independent, at last.
45:37The family has always been respected here.
45:39Almost all the land in this neighborhood, as far as you can see, has belonged to the Rochesters.
45:49Time out of mind.
45:50But leaving his land out of the question, do you like him?
45:54Is Mr. Rochester liked for himself, in short?
45:58What is his character?
46:00Unimpeachable, I suppose.
46:02He is rather peculiar, perhaps.
46:05In what way?
46:07I don't know.
46:09One cannot be sure if he is in jest or in earnest.
46:13But it's of no consequence.
46:14He is a gentleman.
46:16Oh, here is your charge, Miss Eyre.
46:18Mr. Rochester commissioned me to find her a governess.
46:22Adele was born on the continent.
46:24When she first came here, she could speak no English.
46:26Is she the governor?
46:30Yes, certainly.
46:33Good morning, Miss Adela.
46:34This is the lady who is to teach you.
46:36I am happy to do your knowledge, Mademoiselle Adele.
46:40She speaks French, Sophie.
46:44How do you call her, Miss Eyre?
46:46I call her Jane Eyre.
46:52I cannot say it.
46:53Adele, you must be very good with Miss Eyre.
46:56It is Mr. Rochester's wish that you obey her in everything.
47:08Is Mr. Rochester often at home?
47:10He travels a great deal.
47:12His visits here are rare.
47:14Always sudden, unexpected.
47:26I had volunteered to carry a letter for Mrs. Fairfax to the village,
47:30but it lingered by the gate till the moon rose.
47:33Now, as I heard a horse approach,
47:36I remembered certain childish tales of an author of England spirit called a guy trash,
47:41which in the form of a horse or a large dog hunted solitary ways.
47:44But the horse had a rider.
47:47Nothing ever rode the guy trash.
47:50The sparrow was broken at once.
47:52What the deuce is to do now?
48:02You great brute!
48:03How the devil did you?
48:05Get away, pilot!
48:10Can I do anything, sir?
48:11You can stand to one side.
48:13Oh, if you're hurt, I can fetch help.
48:17Who the deuce provided you?
48:30You can't get away.
48:32I don't know.
48:32You can't get away.
48:33You can't get away.
48:36I don't know.
48:39I don't care.
48:39THE END
49:09THE END
