01:00An orphan, cherishing the germs of indignation at my supposed benefactor's treatment of me.
01:09Jane, I dislike caverners and questioners.
01:13But Bessie!
01:14What does she say I have done?
01:19Go, child. Sit yourself somewhere.
01:21And until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent.
01:26Madam Moe.
01:28I had nothing in harmony with Mrs. Reed or her children.
01:34Oh, really?
01:35There is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that sullen manner.
01:40She questions us too, Mama.
01:42I know, darling.
01:44We are all under a necessity to teach her to be more natural and more respectful too.
01:52After all, without our charity, she'll be a pauper.
01:55Why could I never please?
02:06When the Northern Ocean, in vast whirls, boils round the naked, melancholy isles of father's...
02:22Where the dickens is she?
02:24Not here.
02:25Is he?
02:26Tell Mama she's run out into the rain.
02:28The bad animal.
02:29No, she hates the rain.
02:31Such a nanny, canly.
02:33She's in the window seat, to be sure, child.
02:35Yes, I am.
02:40And I stepped forth to face my chief oppressor.
02:43What do you want?
02:45Say what do you want, Master Reed.
02:50Master Reed.
02:51Because I am.
02:53I will be.
02:55Come here.
02:59John Reed ought to have been at school, but his Mama had taken him home on account of his delicate health.
03:09That's for your impudence, answering Mama, and for sneaking behind curtains.
03:14You rat.
03:15What were you doing behind there?
03:17I was reading.
03:18Show the book.
03:21You've no business taking our books.
03:24You're a dependent.
03:25You've no money.
03:27Your father left you none.
03:29Stand over there.
03:30Clear of the windows.
03:34I'll teach you to rummage my bookshelves.
03:37To eat our food.
03:38To wear our clothes at Mama's expense.
03:41Stand still.
03:43Oh!
03:45You're wicked.
03:47Cruel.
03:48Like a murderer.
03:49A Roman emperor.
03:50Did you hear that, Lizzie?
03:52Georgie?
03:53I'll teach her.
03:54I'll teach her.
03:55You rat.
03:57Rat.
03:57Lizzie.
03:58Georgie.
03:59Mama.
03:59Mama.
04:00Oh!
04:02Wait till I tell Mama.
04:03Ow!
04:04Darlings.
04:05Darlings.
04:06She's been stealing our books, Mama.
04:08She just flew at Jack.
04:09Oh, attacked you, my darling.
04:11Like a fury.
04:13But have no fear.
04:14I've mastered her viciousness.
04:15Lizzie, fetch Abbott and, er, and Bessie.
04:19What a picture of passion.
04:22What a viper I have harbored.
04:25She must be controlled.
04:26Oh, no, Bessie, please, don't.
04:32No, it wasn't.
04:34Not in here.
04:35Not in this room.
04:37If you don't sit still, you must be tied down.
04:42Miss Abbott, lend me your garter.
04:44She'll break mine directly.
04:48No, don't.
04:50I will not stir.
04:53Mind you don't.
04:55Both looked darkly and doubtfully upon me,
04:59as if incredulous of my sanity.
05:01She never behaved so before.
05:03Such a tantrum.
05:05It was always in her.
05:07I've told Mrs. often my opinion of the child,
05:10and Mrs. agreed with me.
05:12To shame, Miss Eyre,
05:13to strike a young gentleman,
05:15your young master,
05:17your benefactress's son.
05:19Master?
05:21How is he my master?
05:23Am I its servant?
05:24No, you are less than a servant,
05:26for you do nothing for your game.
05:28What we tell you is for your good, Jane.
05:31How can it be
05:32to lock me in here?
05:34So you may reflect upon your wickedness.
05:37But all mystery,
05:39die in here.
05:41Say your prayers.
05:49And ask God to make you humble, Miss Eyre,
05:52so you may not put yourself on an equality
05:54with the Mrs. Reed and Master Reed.
05:57They will have a great deal of money,
05:59you will have none.
06:00It is your place to be useful and pleasant.
06:03For if you're passionate and rude,
06:05Mrs. will send you away.
06:06And then where would you go?
06:09But it was he who struck me.
06:11Oh, come, Bessie.
06:13An underhand little thing.
06:15I never saw a child with so much cover.
06:19Please.
06:24Unfair.
06:26And just.
06:28All said, I was wicked.
06:32But what fault had I committed,
06:34save to be born
06:35an incubus?
06:40But I promised your poor dear Papa
06:43that I would rear her as my own.
06:46Oh, John, darling,
06:48I don't care for you to drink wine.
06:50The devil you don't, Mama.
06:52One glass.
06:54To your health, oh girl.
06:55Oh.
06:56Oh, John.
06:57I think it was not just of a part
07:00to demand such a pledge.
07:01At our expense.
07:03And for so distant a relative.
07:05But, darling,
07:07that pledge
07:09was wrung from me
07:11on his deathbed.
07:14No one thwarted John.
07:16No one locked him away
07:17without a candle.
07:19Though he twisted the necks
07:20of the pigeons
07:21and set the dogs at the sheep,
07:23he called his mother
07:24old girl
07:25and bluntly disregarded
07:26her wishes.
07:29Still,
07:30he was her own darling.
07:32But I,
07:33who dared commit no fault,
07:36who strove to fulfill
07:37every duty,
07:38I was termed naughty
07:40and sneaking
07:41from morning to noon
07:42and from noon to night.
07:44I must not look at the bed.
07:52I must not look at the bed.
07:57I must not look at the bed.
07:59I must not look at the bed.
08:01I must not look ataging
08:02my favour.
08:03I must not haveutted
08:15and MID-
08:15No! Take me out! Take me out!
08:18How pity, Audrey. Forgive me.
08:20I cannot endure it.
08:25Let me be punished some other way.
08:28Please. Please love me.
08:32Love me.
08:45Well?
08:47Who am I?
08:49I knew him.
08:51He was Mr Lloyd, an apothecary called in by Mrs Reed when the servants were ill.
08:55For herself and the children she employed a physician.
08:59Well?
09:01Mr Lloyd?
09:03We shall do well by and by.
09:06You've been crying.
09:08Can you tell me what about?
09:10Have you any pain?
09:12No, sir.
09:13I say she's crying because she could not go out with Mrs in the carriage.
09:16Oh, what nonsense at her age. Such pettishness.
09:19I hate going out in the carriage.
09:21I cry because I'm miserable.
09:24Oh, fie, Miss.
09:26What made you ill last night, Jane?
09:28She had a fall.
09:29Fall?
09:30Why, that is like a baby again.
09:32Can't she manage to walk at her age?
09:34I was knocked down.
09:36But that did not make me ill.
09:39That'll be for your dinner, Bessie. You may go down.
09:43Eat up if you can, Miss.
09:45And mind your sharp tongue.
09:48I shall give Miss Eyre a lecture until you return.
09:56No lecture.
09:58It was not the fall that made you ill, you say?
10:03No.
10:04I was shut up in a room where there's a ghost till after dark.
10:08Ghosts?
10:11That it is like a baby again to be afraid of ghosts.
10:14Of Mr Reed's ghost, Diane.
10:16He died in that room.
10:18None of the servants would go in there at night.
10:20Yet they shut me in there without a candle.
10:23Are you afraid now?
10:25No.
10:26It was cruel.
10:28I think I shall never forget it.
10:30What nonsense, Jane.
10:33And is it that that makes you so miserable?
10:36No.
10:37How much I wish to reply fully to that question.
10:41How difficult it was to frame my answer.
10:44Well?
10:45Children can feel, but they cannot analyse their feelings.
10:51I am very unhappy.
10:54Why?
10:55Because a number of things.
10:59Well, can you tell me some of them, Jane?
11:01One is that I have no father or mother or brothers or sisters.
11:06Well, you have a kind aunt and cousins.
11:11But John Reed knocked me down.
11:13And my aunt locked me in the bedroom.
11:16Hmm.
11:18Tell me,
11:19why did Bessie tell you to hold your tongue?
11:22For fear I might tell you the truth.
11:27Yes.
11:29You have no relations of any kind?
11:31I think not, sir.
11:33None belonging to your father?
11:35I don't know.
11:37I asked aunt Reed once.
11:38Yes.
11:39She said I might have some poor, low-down relations called air.
11:44But she knew nothing of them.
11:46And if you had such, would you like to go to them?
11:50I reflected.
11:52Poverty looks grim to grown people.
11:55Still more so to children.
11:57They have not much idea of respectable poverty.
12:00They think only of ragged clothes, scanty food and rude manners.
12:04Poverty for me was synonymous with degradation.
12:11No.
12:12I should not like to belong to poor people.
12:14But not even if they were kind to you?
12:17I was not heroic enough to purchase liberty at the price of caste.
12:23But are they so poor?
12:25Perhaps they are honest, industrious working people.
12:28I cannot tell.
12:30Aunt Reed said that if I had any, they must be a begley set.
12:35I should not like to go a-begging.
12:38Jane, would you like to go to school?
12:43I scarcely knew what school was.
12:46Bessie sometimes spoke of it as a place where young ladies wore backboards
12:50and were expected to be exceedingly genteel.
12:53But school also implied an entire separation from Gateshead Hall.
12:58An entrance into a new life.
13:01Well?
13:03Yes.
13:04I should indeed like to go to school.
13:07I shall speak to Mrs. Reed.
13:09Can you be patient, Jane?
13:11I will try.
13:12You must grow strong.
13:14Your nerves have been too severely shaken.
13:21This is the little girl respecting whom I applied to you, Mr. Brocklehurst.
13:27Her size is small.
13:29What is her age?
13:30Ten years.
13:32Your name, little girl?
13:34Jane Eyre, sir.
13:35Well, Jane Eyre.
13:37And are you a good child?
13:39Impossible to reply in the affirmative.
13:41My little world held a contrary opinion.
13:44The less said on that subject, the better, Mr. Brocklehurst.
13:50No sight so sad as that of a naughty child.
13:53Do you know where the wicked go after death?
13:56They go to hell, sir.
13:58And what is hell?
13:59A pit full of fire, sir.
14:01And should you like to fall into that pit and burn there forever, child?
14:05No, sir.
14:06What must you do to avoid it?
14:11I must keep in good health and not die.
14:15But children younger than you die daily.
14:18I buried a little child of five years old only yesterday.
14:22A good little child whose soul is now in heaven.
14:25It is to be feared the same could not be said of you were you to be called hence.
14:30I hope that sigh is from the heart and that you repent of ever having been the occasion of discomfort to your excellent benefactress.
14:39Benefactress, said I inwardly.
14:42They all call Mrs. Reid my benefactress.
14:45If so, a benefactress is a disagreeable thing.
14:48You say your prayers night and morning?
14:50Yes, sir.
14:51Do you read your Bible?
14:52Yes, sometimes.
14:53With your pleasure.
14:54Are you fond of it?
14:56Some parts.
14:57I like the revelations and Daniel in the lion's den.
15:01The Psalms.
15:02I hope you like the Psalms.
15:04No.
15:05No?
15:06But this is shocking.
15:08I have a little boy younger than you and he knows six Psalms by heart.
15:13And if you ask him which he would rather have.
15:15A gingerbread nut to eat or a verse of a psalm to learn.
15:18Oh, the verse of a psalm says he.
15:22Angels sing psalms and I wish to be a little angel here below.
15:27And then he gets two nuts to recompense him for his infant piety.
15:31Psalms are not interesting.
15:34That proves your wicked heart.
15:36You must pray to God to change it.
15:37To give you a new and clean one.
15:39But how would he perform that operation?
15:42Mr Brocklehurst, as I intimated in my letter,
15:45this child has not quite the character and disposition I could wish.
15:50I remember your words perfectly ma'am.
15:52A tendency to deceit.
15:55Precisely.
15:56I should wish therefore that the teachers of Lowood School
15:59were to keep a special eye upon her.
16:02I say this in your hearing Jane,
16:04so that you may not attempt to impose on good Mr Brocklehurst.
16:08She shall be watched Mrs Reed, have no fear.
16:11I will speak to the superintendent Miss Temple about her.
16:14I wish her to be brought up in a manner suiting her low prospects.
16:19And as for the vacations,
16:22she will, with your permission,
16:24spend them always at Lowood.
16:28Your decisions are perfectly judicious ma'am.
16:30She shall be kept humble,
16:32as are all the pupils at Lowood.
16:34Humility is a Christian grace.
16:37And one peculiarly appropriate to the orphan girls within my charge.
16:41I have therefore directed that special attention be bestowed on its cultivation among them.
16:49I have studied how best to mortify among them the worldly sentiment of pride.
16:55Only the other day,
16:57I had a pleasing instance of my success.
17:01My second daughter Augusta
17:03went to visit the school with her mama.
17:05On her return she said,
17:07Oh dear Papa,
17:09how quiet and plain all the girls at Lowood are.
17:13With their hair combed behind their ears,
17:15and their long pinafores.
17:17They look almost like poor people's children.
17:21And then she said,
17:22you know,
17:23they looked at my dress and mama's
17:25as if they'd never seen a silk gown before.
17:28Exactly!
17:30Had I searched all England over,
17:33I could not have found a system more fitting a girl like Jane Eyre.
17:38Now Mrs. Reid, may I take my leave of you?
17:41Goodbye, Mr. Brocklehurst.
17:46Little girl,
17:47this book is entitled,
17:48The Child's Guide.
17:50Read it with prayer.
17:52Especially that part containing an account
17:54of the awfully sudden death of Martha Grigg.
17:57A naughty child addicted to falsehood.
18:00Good day, ma'am.
18:03Mr. Brocklehurst.
18:15You may go, Jane.
18:17Speak, I had to.
18:19I had been trodden on severely and must turn.
18:22But how?
18:24What strength had I to dart retaliation at my antagonist?
18:28I gathered my energies.
18:31I'm not deceitful.
18:32If I were,
18:33I would say I loved you,
18:34but I don't.
18:35Jane!
18:36Jane!
18:37And this book about the liar?
18:39You may give it to your children,
18:41for it is they who tell lies, not I.
18:43Have you more to say?
18:45I had and I did.
18:47And as I did, my soul expanded.
18:50Yes.
18:51Yes.
18:52You think I can do without one bit of love or kindness,
18:56but I cannot live so.
18:58I will never call you aunt again.
19:00And if anybody asks me how you treated me,
19:02I will say the very thought of you makes me sick,
19:05because you treated me with miserable cruelty.
19:08That is the truth, Mrs. Reid.
19:10Jane, you are passionate.
19:12Go to the nursery.
19:14There's a dear.
19:15Go and lie down a little.
19:17I'm not your dear.
19:19I cannot lie down.
19:21Send me to school soon, Mrs. Reid,
19:24for I cannot live here.
19:26I shall, child.
19:33I shall indeed.
19:35I was left there alone,
19:37winner of the field.
19:39But a child cannot quarrel with its elders
19:42without experiencing afterwards
19:44the pang of remorse
19:46and the chill of reaction.
19:50Silence and reflection
19:51soon showed me the madness of my conduct
19:53and the dreariness of my hated
19:56and hating position.
19:59Would I ever be free?
20:14I shall know,
20:15even as also I am known,
20:29and now abideth
20:39I know even as also I am known and now abideth faith hope and charity but the
20:48greatest of these is charity. to your seats. Miss Miller I have a word to
20:55address to the pupils. you had this morning a breakfast which you could not
20:59eat. you must be hungry. I have ordered that a lunch of bread and cheese shall
21:03be served to all. come on this is the first class. fetch the globe. warm glasses.
21:12we will start with a six times table one six is six two six is a twelve three six is a eighteen four six is a twenty-four five six is a thirty
21:40authorizing them to choose two or three inquisitors notable for their virtue to whom he granted
21:47but I insist on your holding your head up. I will not have you before me in that
21:53attitude. air. twelve sixes. ten six is a sixty. eleven six. you must attend. I'm sorry. seventy-two. good. seven times.
22:08one seventy-seven. two seven. bring the badge.
22:15as a royal instrument for the strengthening of the monarchy and the unification of the peninsula the value of the inquisition would be difficult to
22:22so the equatorial currents flow westward creating a circular movement of the scarcely moving center
22:29known as the sargassum sea. the sargassum sea is a relatively still transit in the central world. and the officials of the inquisition from the inquisitor general downward were the paid servants of the crown.
22:41eight is eight. two eight is a thirty.
22:43three eights a twenty four four eights a thirty five eights a forty six eights a forty eight seven eights a thirty seven eights a thirty six.
22:54I doubt if even the rod can correct you of your slatternly habits.
22:58Habits.
23:28is your book interesting I like it you may look at it
23:40it looked dull to my trifling taste closely printed and without one picture
23:48no fairies in it no no genie nor strange spirits
23:55why is it called lowered institution and not lowered school well because it's a
24:02charitable institution for educating orphans do they keep us for nothing
24:06oh no we pay or our friends pay 15 pounds a year for each of us then why are we
24:11called charity children well because 15 pounds a year is not enough board and
24:17teaching the deficiency is supplied by benevolent minded ladies and gentlemen
24:21from here and in London who is Naomi Brocklehurst she's the mother of the
24:27gentleman who's treasurer and manager of this establishment
24:30then this house does not belong to the lady who wears a watch and who gave us
24:37bread and cheese when the porridge was burnt to his temple no I wish it did she
24:44has to answer to mr. Brocklehurst for all she does he buys all our food and all our
24:49clothes but we make our own and I am still hungry yes is mr. Brocklehurst a good
24:56man he's a clergyman and is said to do a great deal of good
25:03Miss Miller Miss Gatchard Miss Temple I trust we shall find all in order and her
25:11last visit as I recall there was an irregularity respecting superfluous blankets
25:16you countermanded the order for them sir the girls have since shivered for it
25:20souls Miss Temple souls not mortal flesh
25:25missus rocklehurst
25:32what is your name besides burns Helen I'm Jane are you happy here you ask rather too many questions I've given you enough answers for the present now I want to read
25:52why did you let miss Gatchard hit you like that it was cruel she is severe she dislikes my faults she struck me I'd resist I'd break the rod under her nose
25:59probably you'd do nothing of the sort but if you did mr. Brocklehurst would expel you from the school it's far better to endure patiently a slight which nobody feels but yourself than to commit a hasty act of
26:06whose evil consequences will extend to all connected to all connected with you besides the Bible bids to all connected with you
26:13it was cruel it was cruel she is severe she 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. Brocklehurst would expel you from the school it's far better to endure patiently a slight which nobody feels but yourself than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you
26:33besides the Bible bids us return good for evil but to be singled out for punishment before so many people I could not bear it
26:44it would be your duty to bear it if you could not avoid it
27:03who introduced this innovation a lunch of bread and cheese
27:10I did so the breakfast was so ill-prepared my pupils could not eat it I dared not allow them to remain fasting until dinner time
27:18but madam you are aware that my plan in bringing up these girls is not to accustom them to luxury but to render them self-denying
27:26the accidental spoiling of a meal ought not to be neutralized by replacing the comfort lost with something more delicate
27:33a brief address on such an occasion would not be mistimed
27:37wherein a judicious instructor would refer to the sufferings of the primitive Christians
27:43the torments of the martyrs the exhortations of our blessed Lord himself
27:47calling upon his disciples to take up their cross and follow him
27:50and warning us that man shall not live by bread alone
27:54oh madam
27:55why did you not remind them of his very words
27:57if ye suffer hunger and thirst for my sake
28:00happy are ye
28:02Miss Temple
28:08that girl
28:10with curled hair
28:11red hair ma'am
28:12curled all over
28:13she is Julia Seven sir
28:15her hair curls naturally
28:17naturally
28:18naturally
28:19we are not to conform to nature here
28:21I desire hair to be arranged closely
28:24modestly
28:25plainly
28:26tell the senior class to direct their faces to the wall
28:38turn the girls
28:39my dear
28:40the girl's hair
28:41I shall send the barber tomorrow
28:43all these top knots must be cut off
29:00but sir
29:01all turn
29:02madam
29:04my mission here is to mortifying these girls the lusts of the flesh
29:08teaching them to clothe themselves with shamefacedness
29:11and not with the braided excrescences of Babylon
29:15we all have a master to serve whose kingdom is not of this world
29:20a new pupil I perceive
29:23a careless girl
29:25I have a word to say respecting her
29:27do not be afraid Jane
29:28I saw it was an accident
29:29let the child who procurates come forward
29:30fetch that stool
29:31and place the child upon it
29:33and place the child upon it
29:34ladies
29:35ladies
29:36miss temperance
29:37teachers
29:38and children
29:39you see this girl
29:40she's yet young
29:41who would believe
29:55that the evil one has already found a servant and a servant and a queen
29:58who would believe
30:01who would believe
30:03She's yet young.
30:05Who would believe
30:07that 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.
30:21Avoid her company.
30:23Teachers, watch her.
30:25Weigh well her words.
30:27Scrutinize her actions.
30:29Because, because, my tongue falters as I tell it.
30:34This girl is a liar.
30:37There was I then, mounted aloft,
30:40I who had said I could not bear the shame of public reproof.
30:45This I learned from her benefactress,
30:49a pious and charitable lady,
30:52who adopted her in her orphan state
30:54and reared her as her own with her own.
30:59And how did this girl repay her kindness?
31:03With an ingratitude so dreadful,
31:06that at last her patroness was forced to separate her from her own young ones,
31:10lest her vicious example contaminate their purity.
31:16She is here to be healed by correction.
31:20Let her stand on that stool half an hour longer,
31:23and let no one speak to her for the remainder of the day.
31:26Come, ladies.
31:27Come, ladies.
31:28Come, ladies.
31:29Come, ladies.
31:30Come, ladies.
31:31nothing sustained me left to myself I abandoned myself I meant to be so good
31:53and to do so much at Lowood to earn respect to win affection
31:59Jane come drink something I could not yet abate my agitation though I tried
32:08hard Helen remained a silent as an Indian I was the first who spoke why do you
32:17stay with a girl everybody believes is a liar everybody Jane why only this small
32:24school in the whole great world has heard you called so I don't care about the
32:29world when the people here despise me you're mistaken they don't probably not
32:36one person in the school despises or dislikes you many I'm sure pity you how
32:43can they after what mr. brocklehurst said mr. brocklehurst is not a god Jane he's not
32:50even a great and admired man this little liked here he never took steps to make
32:56himself light had he treated you as a favorite you'd have found enemies now
33:01come drink your coffee while it's still warm besides if all the world hated you
33:08and believed you wicked when you were innocent you'd not be without friends but I
33:14would be nobody would love me I'd rather die than not be loved hush Jane you think too much of the
33:23love of human beings besides this earth and besides the race of men there is an
33:30invisible world and a kingdom of spirits that world is round us it's everywhere and
33:36those spirits which are angels watch us guard us they recognize our innocence if
33:44innocent we be and God waits only the separation of spirit from flesh to crown
33:50us with a full reward
33:54why then should we ever sink overwhelmed with distress when life is so soon past and death
34:10so certain an entrance to happiness to glory is it all over I came on purpose to find you Jane I
34:22I want you to come to my room and as Helen burns is with you she may come to have you cried your grief
34:29away I'm afraid I shall never do that why because I've been wrongly accused and you
34:39ma'am and everybody else will now think me wicked we shall think you what you prove yourself to be my
34:46child continue to act as a good girl and you will satisfy me shall I come I want
34:56you to tell me about the lady who sent you here
35:04so mr. Brocklehurst was mistaken when he implied mrs. Reed had adopted you of her own accord
35:10my uncle made a promise to keep me just before he died also the servants told me well Jane I shall
35:19write to this mr. Lloyd your apothecary and if his reply agrees with your statements here tonight
35:25you shall be publicly cleared from every imputation to me Jane you are clear now as I'm sure you are with
35:37Helen so now you have two people who believe you well Helen have you coughed much today
35:46not quite so much I think ma'am and the pain in your chest it is a little better
35:51I in my ignorance was puzzled by her concern for Helen's cough
35:58have you enjoyed the book I lent you Helen
36:02restless ma'am it has impressed me Dr. Johnson's stoicism is somber but very grand
36:09Jane did not like the look of it because it had no pictures
36:14Jane is yet young
36:17I then recalled a line or two from a poem of his
36:21yes
36:23must helpless man in innocent 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 inquirers cease
36:37petitions yet remain which heaven may hear nor deem religion vain
36:42still raise for good the supplicating voice
36:46but leave to heaven the measure and the choice
36:49and so we shall
36:53bless you my children
36:55and inquiry having been made into the allegations against Jane Eyre
37:06she is completely cleared from every imputation
37:09Jane I'm very glad
37:12and I'm glad too Jane
37:15come along
37:16monitors for the books and form classes
37:20thus relieved of a grievous burden I set to work afresh
37:25I toiled hard my memory improved with practice
37:32exercise sharpened my wits
37:34I learned the first two tenses of the verbet and sketched my first cottage
37:39whose walls by the way I'd rivaled in slope those of the leaning tower of Pisa
37:44and soon I would not have exchanged Lowood with all its privations
37:49for Gateshead and its daily luxuries
37:53can I help
38:13oh no not julia seven as well
38:17help her miss gadget
38:18of course
38:19they all seem half starved
38:30the prime cause of the infection probably
38:33no doubt about it
38:34doctor
38:37come along now we'll get you in bed
38:42it's only too clear
38:49the wretched food
38:50the fetid water in which it's prepared
38:52the threadbare clothing of the pupils
38:54these are the causes sir
38:56and you the provider of them
38:58miss sketched miss temple
39:15it's absolutely scandalous
39:20indeed it is
39:20will you tell him
39:22yes I will
39:23we shall recommend that a committee is formed to manage this school
39:27mr. Brocklehurst
39:28a committee of persons with more enlarged and sympathizing minds than yours sir
39:33we wish you good day
39:35good day sir
39:36Helen
39:46why are you coming
39:51why are you coming
40:05it's late
40:07yes
40:08and I thought
40:09they are mistaken
40:10she's not going to die
40:12she could not speak so calmly
40:15if she were
40:16have you come to bid me goodbye
40:18are you going somewhere
40:20Helen
40:21are you going home
40:22yes
40:23to my last home
40:25no
40:26no you mustn't
40:28the other girls are recovering now
40:31but I have consumption
40:32not typhus fever
40:34Jane
40:35Jane
40:49your feet are bare
40:51come
40:52lie down and cover yourself with my colt
40:55I'm very happy Jane
41:04and when you hear I'm dead
41:06you must be sure and not grieve
41:08by dying young
41:10I shall escape great sufferings
41:12I had not qualities or talents
41:16to make my way very well in the world
41:17but where are you going to
41:21do you know
41:22I believe
41:25I have faith
41:26I'm going to God
41:28where is God
41:31what is God
41:33my maker and yours
41:35I rely implicitly on his power
41:39and confide wholly in his goodness
41:42how comfortable I am
41:46I feel I could sleep
41:49but don't leave me Jane
41:52I'd like to have you near me
41:55I'll stay
41:56I'll stay
41:57I learned later that Miss Temple
42:08on returning at dawn
42:09had found me
42:10my face against Helen Burns' shoulder
42:12my arms around her neck
42:14I was asleep
42:17and Helen was dead
42:19hitherto I have recorded in detail
42:26the events of my insignificant existence
42:28this is not to be a regular autobiography
42:31I am only bound to invoke memory
42:34where I know her responses will possess interest
42:36therefore I now pass over a space of
42:39eight years almost in silence
42:41six years as a pupil
42:43two as a teacher at Lowood
42:45I desired liberty
42:48and for liberty I uttered a prayer
42:51it seemed scattered on the wind
42:53I abandoned it
42:55and framed a humbler supplication
42:58for change
43:00that petition too
43:02seemed swept off into vague space
43:04then I cried half desperate
43:07grant me at least a new servitude
43:10shall I have the pleasure of seeing Miss Fairfax this evening
43:32Miss Fairfax
43:33oh you mean Miss Varron
43:36Varron is the name of your future pupil
43:38she's Mr. Rochester's ward
43:40Mr. Rochester?
43:42but who is he?
43:44the owner of the hall
43:45did you not know he was called Rochester?
43:50I thought the hall belonged to you Mrs. Fairfax
43:53since you answered my advertisement
43:55to me?
43:58why bless you child what an idea
44:00I'm just the housekeeper
44:03though to be sure I am distantly related to the Rochesters
44:08on the mother's side
44:10thank you John
44:19this is your room Miss Eyre
44:22I hope you'll be comfortable
44:27you must be tired after traveling all day
44:30yes I am a little
44:31good evening Grace
44:33evening ma'am
44:34good night Miss Eyre
44:37oh good night
44:39my prayer for a new servitude
44:50had been granted
44:51and I was grateful
44:53by the expedient of placing an advertisement
44:58in the county newspaper
44:59I had secured a competency as a governess
45:02my pupil was to be one little girl of nine years
45:06and my salary
45:07thirty pounds per annum
45:10the place was called Thornfield
45:16in Yorkshire
45:17I considered myself independent
45:28at last
45:30the family has always been respected here
45:39almost all the land in this neighborhood as far as you can see
45:47as belong to the Rochesters
45:49time out of mind
45:50but leaving his land out of the question
45:52do you like him?
45:54is Mr. Rochester liked for himself
45:56in short
45:57what is his character?
46:00unimpeachable I suppose
46:01he is rather peculiar perhaps
46:05in what way
46:06I don't know
46:08one cannot be sure
46:10if he is in jest or in earnest
46:12but it's of no consequence
46:14he is a gentleman
46:15oh here is your charge Miss Eyre
46:18Mr. Rochester commissioned me
46:20to find her a governess
46:20Adele was born on the continent
46:23when she first came here
46:25she could speak no English
46:26good morning Miss Adela
46:34this is the lady who is to teach you
46:36I am happy to do your knowledge
46:38Mademoiselle Adele
46:39she speaks French
46:42Sophie
46:42how do you call her?
46:46I call her Jane Eyre
46:48Eyre
46:49I cannot say it
46:53Adele
46:54you must be very good with Miss Eyre
46:56it is Mr. Rochester's wish
46:57that you obey her in everything
46:59I can speak to Miss Eyre
47:02as I do to Mr. Rochester
47:04you too Sophie
47:06you will love her
47:07is Mr. Rochester often at home?
47:10he travels a great deal
47:12his visits here are rare
47:14always sudden
47:15unexpected
47:16I had volunteered to carry a letter for Mrs. Fairfax to the village
47:29but it lingered by the gate till the moon rose
47:32now as I heard a horse approach
47:35I remembered certain childish tales of a north of England spirit called a guy trash
47:40which in the form of a horse or a large dog hunted solitary ways
47:44but the horse had a rider
47:46nothing ever rode the guy trash
47:49the spell was broken at once
47:52what the deuce is to do now
47:59you great brute how the devil did you
48:03get away pilot
48:06dear heaven
48:08can I do anything sir?
48:11you can stand to one side
48:12if you're hurt I can fetch help
48:15who the deuce provided you?
48:19thank you
48:35I
48:38I
48:44I
48:46I
