00:01Her mother deceived me, as she deceived others before me.
00:05My rival for her costly charms was, I discovered, a young roué of a vicomte.
00:10Brainless, vicious.
00:12I encountered him the following morning in the Bois de Boulogne,
00:15where I had the pleasure of leaving a bullet in one of his poor, etiolated arms.
00:20Come on, Sophie.
00:25And then you left Paris?
00:26Yes.
00:27Yes, you will now doubtless think differently of your post and protégé.
00:32Governess to the illegitimate offspring of a French opera girl.
00:36No, Adele is not answerable for her mother's faults.
00:39Or yours, sir.
00:41She's not my fault, Miss Eyre. I disclaim paternity.
00:44No blood of mine runs in that child's veins.
00:47I'm not her father.
00:49But her mother abandoned her to the slime and mud of Paris.
00:53I merely, for charity's sake, implanted her to grow up clean here.
00:59So, do you now beg me to look out for a new governess?
01:04Why, sir?
01:08Which should I prefer?
01:09Some spoiled pet of a wealthy family who would despise her governess?
01:13Or an orphan such as Adele, abandoned by her mother and disowned by you?
01:17Is that how you view it?
01:20It is, sir.
01:23Hmm.
01:23I like this day.
01:30That sky of steel.
01:33I like Thornfield.
01:36Its antiquity, its grey facade.
01:41And yet how long have I abhorred the very thought of it?
01:45Shunned it like a great plague house.
01:47Oh, I do still abhor it.
01:54Loathe it.
01:56He was silent.
01:59Within him, pain.
02:02Or was it shame, and disgust seemed to hold a quivering conflict?
02:09I will like it.
02:11I dare like it.
02:13I will break every obstacle to happiness and, yes, to goodness.
02:25Forgive me, Miss Eyre.
02:27I was arranging a point with my destiny.
02:30She stood there like a witch.
02:32You like Thornfield, she said, pointing her finger,
02:34and then wrote in air in lurid hieroglyphics all along the house front.
02:39Like it if you dare.
02:41Do you dare, sir?
02:43I do.
02:45Despite her warning?
02:46Though hell should gape before me, Miss Eyre.
02:52Good day.
02:53And was Mr. Rochester now ugly in my eyes?
02:57No.
02:58The confidence he had thought fit to repose in me seemed a tribute to my discretion.
03:03His changes of mood, his harshnesses, were never directed at me,
03:07but at his former faults and associates.
03:10Yet what alienated him from the house?
03:14Would he leave again soon?
03:17Mrs. Fairfax said he rarely stayed longer than a fortnight.
03:20He had now remained eight weeks.
03:22Mademoiselle!
03:24Mademoiselle!
03:25Mademoiselle!
03:28Suppose he were to go.
03:31How joyless Thornfield would become.
03:33How joyous Thornfield would become.
03:33Mademoiselle!
03:51Who is it?
03:52Pilot?
04:22But sleep remained far from me that night, even though an unbroken hush, save for the clock in the hall below, now reigned throughout the house.
04:52Who's there?
05:22Was that Grace Poole? Is she possessed with a devil?
05:52Mr. Rochester! Wake! Wake, sir!
06:09Is there a flood?
06:12No, sir! But there is a fire! Get up!
06:22In the name of all the elves in Christendom, is that Jane Eyre? Have you plotted to burn or drown me?
06:34I'll fetch a candle, sir.
06:52What have you done with me, you witch?
07:09You sorceress.
07:11I heard a strange laugh. I...
07:14Shall I call Mrs. Fairfax?
07:15What the deuce could she do?
07:17But you must discover who did it, sir.
07:20Yes.
07:22Can you remain still, without a candle?
07:27Yes, sir.
07:29Don't move, or call anyone.
07:33I shall not be long.
07:52I did not see the use of staying.
08:03I was on the point of risking Mr. Rochester's displeasure by disobeying.
08:17I've found it all out. It's as I thought.
08:23How, sir?
08:26I forget whether you said you saw anything when you opened your door.
08:28Only a candle.
08:31But you heard an odd laugh. You've heard that laugh before, I should think, or something like it.
08:34Yes. There's a woman who sows here, Grace Poole. She laughs in that fashion.
08:39She is a singular person.
08:41Just so. You guessed it. Grace Poole.
08:43Now, you're no talking fool, are you? So, say nothing of this. I will account for it.
08:51Return to your room.
08:51I shall do very well on the sofa in the library.
08:55Good night, then, sir.
08:58What? You're quitting me already?
08:59But you said I might go.
09:03But not without a word or two of goodwill.
09:04Not in that short, brief, dry fashion.
09:09Why, you saved my life.
09:13Saved me from a horrible and excruciating death.
09:16And now you propose to go as if we're mutual strangers.
09:20At least shake hands.
09:24I have pleasure in owing you so immense a debt.
09:27Good night, sir.
09:28There is no debt.
09:30I knew.
09:33I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you.
09:36What, sir?
09:37That you would revive some goodness in me.
09:41Your eyes.
09:44Their expression did not...
09:46did not strike delight to my inmost heart for nothing.
09:51People talk of natural sympathies.
09:54I've heard of good genie, and there are grains of truth in the wildest fable.
09:59I cherish preserver.
10:01Good night.
10:04You're cold.
10:06Go, then.
10:08I will, sir.
10:10When you release my hand.
10:14Your hand.
10:16Good night, sir.
10:19Yes.
10:21Good night.
10:22Good night.
10:23Good night.
10:23Good night.
10:24Good night.
10:24Good night.
10:25Good night.
10:25Good night.
10:26Good night.
10:26Good night.
10:27Good night.
10:27Good night.
10:28Good night.
10:28Good night.
10:29Good night.
10:29Good night.
10:29Good night.
10:30Good night.
10:30Good night.
10:30Good night.
10:31Good night.
10:31Good night.
10:32Good night.
10:32Good night.
10:33Good night.
10:33Good night.
10:34Good night.
10:35Good night.
10:36Good night.
10:36Good night.
10:37Good night.
10:37Good night.
10:38Good night.
10:39Good night.
10:40Good night.
10:41Good night.
10:42Good night.
10:43Good night.
10:44Good night.
10:45Good night.
10:46Good night.
10:47Good night.
10:48Good night.
10:49Good night.
10:50Good night.
10:51Good night.
