00:00Do not keep me long. The fire scorches me.
00:06The eye is favourable.
00:10It is soft and full of feeling.
00:13As to the mouth, it would like to laugh more.
00:16Indeed, it ought to.
00:18While the forehead declares,
00:21reason sits firm and holds the reins,
00:24she will not let her feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms.
00:30You do not speak like a gypsy mother.
00:32You have no faith.
00:34Your impudence said so.
00:37Your fortune is yet doubtful.
00:40Chance has meted you a measure of happiness.
00:43It depends on yourself to stretch out your hand and take it up.
00:47You smile at my jargon.
00:49And at your voice, sir.
00:51What?
00:52And the ring on your hand, also.
00:56You witch!
00:57You witch!
00:59Off!
01:01Ye lendings!
01:04Ah, there's strings in a knot.
01:06Help me, Jane.
01:07Break it, sir.
01:11Well,
01:12did you like my charade?
01:15Was it well carried out?
01:17You managed very well with the other ladies.
01:19But not with you?
01:20No.
01:21You did not act the character of a gypsy with me.
01:24Did I not?
01:26Whose then?
01:27My own?
01:27Oh, no.
01:28Some unaccountable one.
01:31Hmm.
01:32And the others, what did they say about me?
01:35That you knew everything about them.
01:36Which, of course, you do.
01:38And Miss Ingram, what did she say?
01:41So it is past eleven o'clock.
01:44I must go.
01:45No, stay!
01:47I am not here, remember.
01:49So we are free.
01:51Oh, but Miss Ingram is expecting your return from business this evening.
01:56What if she does?
01:59Mr Rochester,
02:00are you aware that a stranger has arrived since you left this morning?
02:04What stranger?
02:05I was expecting no one.
02:07Is he gone?
02:08No.
02:09He said he has known you for many years
02:10and would install himself here till you returned.
02:12But the devil he did.
02:14Did you give his name?
02:15As Mason, sir.
02:18Mason?
02:20He comes from the West Indies.
02:21From Jamaica, I think.
02:27Mason.
02:29Well, you will, sir.
02:32Oh, Jane.
02:35Jane!
02:36Lean on me, sir.
02:38As I did before.
02:44Mason.
02:47Where is he now?
02:49In the drawing room, sir.
02:50And the others, what are they doing?
02:51Laughing and talking.
02:53They don't look grave or mysterious.
02:55As if they'd heard something strange.
02:58No.
03:00They're full of jest and gaiety.
03:03Jane.
03:04If all my guests
03:07came in a body and spat on me,
03:09what would you do?
03:11I would turn them out of the room
03:13if I could, sir.
03:14And if I went to them
03:15and they looked at me coldly,
03:17whispered and sneered behind my back
03:19and one by one dropped off and left me,
03:20what then?
03:21Would you go with them?
03:22I should have more pleasure
03:25in staying with you.
03:27To comfort me?
03:28As well as I could.
03:29And if they laid you under a ban
03:31for adhering to me?
03:32I should care nothing for that.
03:34You dare censure for my sake.
03:38As I would for any friend.
03:40As you would, too, I'm sure, sir.
03:42Go back now.
03:48Step quietly after Mason.
03:50Whisper that I'm returned
03:50and wish to see him here.
03:52Then leave it.
03:54Yes, sir.
03:55Yes, sir.
