Short filmTranscript
00:00I was going back to Thornfield, but for how long was I to stay there?
00:25Not long, I was sure.
00:27I had heard from Mrs. Fairfax in the interim.
00:30The party at the hall had dispersed and Mr. Rochester had left for London
00:34to make arrangements for his wedding to Miss Ingram.
00:39There you are.
00:41Well, he's not a ghost, but every nerve I have is unstrung.
00:46Come on, if you please.
00:49Is this Jane Eyre coming from Millcote on foot?
00:52Oh, yes, just one of your tricks.
00:54Not to send for a carriage and come clattering home like a common mortal.
00:58Oh, no.
00:59You must steal him, just as if you were a dream or shade.
01:04What the deuce have you done me this over this last month?
01:06I've been with my aunt, sir, who is dead.
01:09A true Janey in reply.
01:11Good angels be my guard.
01:12She comes from the other world, from the abode of people who are dead, and tells me so, here alone.
01:20If I dared, I'd touch you to see if your substance or shadow.
01:24Truant.
01:26Truant.
01:28Absent from me a whole month, and forgetting me quite, I'll be sworn.
01:32I might ask much the same of you, sir.
01:35I thought you were in London.
01:37I was.
01:39I suppose you found that out by second sight.
01:41Mrs. Fairfax wrote to me.
01:43Did she inform you what I went there to do?
01:45Oh, yes, sir.
01:46Everyone knew your errand.
01:48You must see the carriage, Jane.
01:50And tell me if you won't think it will suit Mrs. Rochester exactly.
01:54She'll look like Queen Baudicere, leaning back against those purple cushions.
01:57I only wish I were a trifle better adapted to match with her externally.
02:02Will you let me pass, sir?
02:03No.
02:05Not till you give me a charm, elf as you are, or a filter to make me a handsome man.
02:11It would be past the power of magic, sir.
02:16Past, Janet.
02:18And stay your weary little wandering feet at a friend's threshold.
02:27Thank you, Mr. Rochester, for your great kindness.
02:30I'm strangely glad to get back again to you.
02:34Wherever you are is my home.
02:36My only home.
02:37Oh, such a waste!
02:49La petite maman anglaise.
02:51Once the ladies left, poor Adele was at a loss.
02:54She's bothered the life out of me.
02:55When is Mademoiselle returning every minute of the day?
02:58Well, I'm home now, Adele.
03:00Exactly.
03:01Oh, speak English, child.
03:04We shall begin our lessons again tomorrow.
03:06Oh, yeah.
03:07So, so, feet.
03:08Oui, okay.
03:09Oh, no.
03:11Nice, man.
03:13And so, Arthur Wellesley became the Duke of Wellington.
03:15But I like better Napoleon, because he was French.
03:18He was Corsican, really.
03:21Now, Adele, I want you to write a short essay.
03:24Compare these two great men, and remember...
03:26But it's too difficult.
03:27No, it's not.
03:29You must learn to apply yourself.
03:36A fortnight of dubious calm succeeded my return.
03:40Nothing was said of my master's marriage, and I saw no preparation for such an event.
03:46There was no journeying backward and forward to Ingram Park.
03:50True, it was twenty miles off.
03:52But what was that distance to an ardent lover?
03:59I began to cherish hopes I had no right to conceive.
04:05Never had Mr. Rochester been kinder to me.
04:08And, alas, never had I loved him so well.
04:11Jane, come and have a look at this fellow.
04:41Could his shadow feel?
04:53Look at his wings.
04:56He reminds me of a West Indian insect.
04:59One doesn't often see so large and gay a night rover in England.
05:04Ah, he's flown.
05:08Stay, turn back.
05:09It's a shame to sit in the house on so lovely an evening.
05:14Though my tongue is usually prompt enough at answer.
05:18There are times when it sadly fails me.
05:21Come.
05:24The sun is setting as the moon rises.
05:25Come.
05:25Jane, Thornfield is a pleasant place, is it not?
05:46Yes, sir.
05:47And I suspect you've become attached to it.
05:50Yes.
05:52As you've become attached in some degree, though I don't comprehend it,
05:56to that foolish little girl Adele.
05:57And even to simple Mrs. Fairfax.
06:00In different ways I have an affection for both.
06:02Pity.
06:04It is always the way.
06:06No sooner have you got settled in a pleasant resting place than a voice calls out to you to rise and move on.
06:10Must I move on, sir?
06:13I believe you must, Jane.
06:18Well, sir, I should be ready to move when the order comes.
06:21We made a bargain, did we not?
06:24You requested that when I married Miss Ingram,
06:26Adele should be sent to school and you allowed to leave.
06:30Then you are going to be married.
06:31Very soon, Miss Eyre.
06:34You're not turning to look after more moths, are you?
06:37There was only a lady clock child flying away home.
06:41And I promised I would find you a new post.
06:44Yes, sir, you did.
06:46Well, I've heard of a place that will suit.
06:49It is to undertake the education of the five daughters of Mrs. Dionysius O'Gall
06:53of Bitternut Lodge, Connaught, Ireland.
06:55It is a long way off, sir.
06:57No matter.
06:57A girl of your sense will not object to the voyage or the distance.
07:02Not the voyage.
07:06The distance.
07:07And then the sea is a barrier.
07:09From what, Jane?
07:11From England, sir.
07:13From Thornfield.
07:15Well?
07:16From you, sir.
07:19It is a long way, and I'm sorry to send my little friend on such weary travels,
07:23but if I can't do better, how is it to be helped?
07:27Are you anything akin to me, do you think, Jane?
07:33I could risk no sort of answer.
07:35Because I sometimes have a feeling, especially when you're near to me as you are now,
07:38it's as if I had a string under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame.
07:48And if that boisterous channel should come between us, I'm afraid this cord of communion will be snapped.
07:56And I have a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly.
07:58As for you, you'd forget me.
08:02That I never should.
08:04Impossible to proceed.
08:05Oh, I wish...
08:07I wish I'd never been born or come to Thornfield.
08:11Because you're sorry to leave it?
08:12Because I love it.
08:16Because I've lived properly here.
08:18I've not been trampled on, not been petrified.
08:20Oh, I've not been buried with inferior minds.
08:26I've talked face to face with what I reverence and delight in.
08:31With an original, a vigorous and expanded mind.
08:35I've known you, Mr. Rochester, and now I see the necessity of departure.
08:40It's like looking on the necessity of death.
08:43Where do you see the necessity?
08:44Where?
08:45You, sir, have placed it before me in the shape of Miss Ingram.
08:50Your bride.
08:51My bride?
08:52What bride?
08:53I have no bride.
08:54But you will have.
08:55Yes, I will.
08:57I will.
08:58Then I must go.
08:59You've said it yourself.
09:00No, you must stay.
09:02I tell you, I must go.
09:06Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you?
09:08Do you think I'm an automaton, a machine, without feelings?
09:12Or do you think because I'm poor?
09:15Obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless.
09:19You think wrong.
09:20I have as much soul as you and full as much heart.
09:24And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth,
09:28I would make it as hard for you to leave me as it is for me to leave you.
09:32Jane.
09:32No.
09:35I'm not talking to you now through the medium of custom,
09:38conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh.
09:40It is my spirit that addresses your spirit just as if both had passed through the grave
09:46and stood at God's feet, equal as we are.
09:50As we are.
09:55So, Jane.
09:57So.
10:01Yes, so, sir.
10:03And yet not so, for you are a married man or as good as,
10:06and wed to one inferior to you,
10:09whom I do not believe you truly love.
10:11I scorn such a union, therefore I am better than you.
10:16Let me go.
10:16Where, Jane?
10:17To Ireland?
10:18Yes.
10:19Anywhere.
10:21I've spoken my mind and I'm free.
10:23Jane, be still.
10:24Don't struggle so.
10:25Like a wild, frantic bird.
10:26I am no bird.
10:30No net ensnares me.
10:33I am a free human being with an independent will,
10:36which I now exert to leave you.
10:38And your will shall decide your destiny.
10:41Jane, come back to me.
10:43Never.
10:45I am torn away now and I cannot return.
10:47But I summon you as my wife.
10:49It is you only I intend to marry.
10:52I thought he mocked me.
10:53I offer you my heart and my hand.
10:58Your bride stands between us.
11:00My bride is here.
11:02Because my equal is here.
11:04And my likeness.
11:08Jane, will you marry me?
11:14Do you doubt me?
11:17Entirely, sir.
11:18You've no faith in me?
11:20Not a whit.
11:22Am I a liar in your eyes?
11:24Little sceptic, you shall be convinced.
11:27What love have I for Miss Ingram?
11:29None.
11:29What love has she for me?
11:30None.
11:32I caused a rumour to reach her that my fortune was not a third of what was supposed.
11:36Such sudden coldness when we next met.
11:38I could not.
11:39I would not marry her.
11:40But you.
11:42You strange, almost unearthly thing.
11:44Jane, I love you like my own flesh.
11:52You.
11:54Poor and obscure and small and plain as you are.
11:59I entreat you to accept me as a husband.
12:04His earnestness and incivility began to give credit to his sincerity.
12:10You, Jane.
12:11Jane, I must have you for my own.
12:14Say yes quickly.
12:16Mr. Rochester, let me see your face.
12:19Turn to the moonlight.
12:21Why?
12:22Because I want to read your countenance.
12:24Turn.
12:27There.
12:29Read on.
12:31Only make haste for I suffer.
12:32Oh, Jane, you torture me.
12:36How can I do that?
12:38If you are true and you're offer real.
12:41It is.
12:42My only feelings to you must be gratitude and devotion.
12:46They cannot torture.
12:47Gratitude?
12:48Jane, accept me quickly.
12:49Say Edward.
12:50Give me my name.
12:51I will marry you.
12:54Do you truly love me?
12:57Do you sincerely wish me to be your wife?
12:59I do.
13:00Well, then, sir, I will marry you.
13:10Edward.
13:12Edward.
13:14My little wife.
13:17Come to me entirely now.
13:19Make my happiness.
13:20I will make yours.
13:24God pardon me and man meddle not with me.
13:27I have her and will hold her.
13:31There is no one to meddle, sir.
13:34I have no kindred to interfere.
13:37No.
13:38That is the best of it.
13:41You happy, Jane?
13:43Yes, sir.
13:47It will atone.
13:48Is there not love in my heart and constancy in my resolve?
13:53It will expiate at God's tribunal.
13:56I know my maker sanctions what I do.
13:59For the world's judgment, I wash my hands thereof.
14:10For man's opinion, I defy it.
14:12The weather changes.
14:19We must go in.
14:22I could have sat with you all till morning, Jane.
14:25Listen to take off your wet things.
14:50and before you go good night
14:54good night my darling
14:57explanations will do
15:11another time
15:12and Moselle Jeannette
15:20was it late
15:22no it's early
15:24but I must tell you
15:26and she told me that the horse chestnut tree
15:31with a seat around it at the bottom of the gardens
15:33had been struck by lightning in the night
15:35and half of it split away
15:38and Mr. de Rochester is up already
15:41and says I'm to have no lessons this morning
15:43Jane I've decided
15:49you must give up your governess in slavery at once
15:52indeed sir begging your pardon
15:54I shall not
15:55you will not
15:56no sir we should go on as before

16:13in four weeks not a day more
16:15the announcement made me giddy
16:17a feeling stronger than joy stunned me
16:20it was I think
16:22almost fear
16:24you blush now you're pale Jane why
16:27because you gave me a new name
16:29Jane Rochester
16:31yes Mrs. Rochester

16:34and you must be attired in satins and lace
16:36this morning I wrote to my banker in London
16:38to send me certain jewels he has in his keeping
16:40in a few days I shall pour them into your lap
16:44for every attention
16:45every privilege shall be yours
16:47as I would accord a peer's daughter
16:49if about to marry her
16:50oh sir never mind jewels
16:52jewels for Jane Eyre
16:54sounds unnatural and strange
16:56I would rather not have them
16:58I will myself with the diamond chain around your neck
17:01oh sir please
17:01don't address me as if I were your captive beauty
17:04for I am not
17:05I am your plain Quakerish governess
17:08you're a beauty in my eyes and I shall make the world acknowledge it
17:12but then you will not know me sir
17:13I shall not be your Jane Eyre any longer
17:16oh no you shall be Jane Rochester
17:18oh an ape rather in a harlequin's jacket
17:20a jay in borrowed plumes
17:24and after we are married
17:25in the church below yonder
17:28I shall waft you away to regions nearer the sun
17:32to France to Italy
17:33all the ground I've wandered over shall be retrodden by you
17:37my Jane
17:39my bride
17:41ten years since I flew through Europe half mad
17:45with hate rage and disgust as my companions
17:47now I shall revisit it
17:49healed and cleansed with a very
17:51angel as my comforter
17:52I am not an angel
17:54and I will not be one till I die
17:56I will be myself
17:57so do not send for jewels or satins
18:00I will not wear them
18:01you refuse
18:02absolutely
18:03hmm
18:04ah that will be your married look I suppose sir
18:08oh after six months
18:09I have observed in books written by men
18:13that period assigned
18:14as the furthest to which any husband's ardour extends
18:16hmm
18:17distasteful
18:18and like you again
18:20oh is that how you will appear should I ask a favour
18:22as your wife
18:24who talks of favours
18:27I've offered you favours
18:28but not of my choosing sir
18:30may I ask for now
18:32what you changeling
18:34there
18:35you are less than civil now
18:37and I like rudeness a great deal better than flattery
18:40this is what I have to ask
18:42why did you take such pains to make me
18:45believe you wish to marry Miss Ingram
18:47is that all
18:49thank god it is no worse
18:51it may make you indignant Jane
18:53and I've seen what a fire spirit you can be
18:56you positively glowed in the cool moonlight last night
19:00when you mutinied against fate
19:01and claimed your rank as my equal
19:02of course I did
19:04but to the point
19:06Miss Ingram
19:07I feigned courtship of her
19:10because I wished to render you
19:14as in love with me
19:15as I was with you
19:16I knew jealousy would be my best ally
19:19oh excellent
19:20now you are small
19:22not one whit bigger than the end of my little finger
19:25was it not a burning shame and disgrace
19:28did you think nothing of Miss Ingram's feelings
19:30she has none
19:31save pride
19:32and that needs humbling
19:33but won't she feel forsaken
19:35and deserted
19:36on the contrary
19:37she deserted me did she not
19:39on hearing I might not be as wealthy as she had supposed
19:41oh you have a curious designing mind
19:44Mr. Rochester
19:45match to yours you said so
19:47but your principles are in some points
19:49eccentric sir
19:51they've not been trained as yours have Jane
19:53they may have grown a little awry for lack of attention
19:56have you anything else to ask
20:01it is my delight to be entreated and to yield
20:04yes sir
20:06so prompt
20:07please communicate your intentions to Mrs. Fairfax
20:11well she saw me with you last night in the hall
20:14and she was shocked sir
20:15did she think you'd given the world for love
20:18and thought it well lost
20:19I believe she thought I'd forgotten my station sir
20:22and yours
20:23station
20:24your station is in my heart Jane
20:27and on the necks of those that insult you
20:30now or hereafter
20:31I shall enlighten her
20:36I saw that I could not allow him or myself
20:41to sink into a bathos of sentiment
20:43I determined to show him in the ensuing weeks
20:47all the more rugged points in my character
20:49that he might know fully what sort of bargain he had made
20:52while there was yet time to rescind it
20:54nor would I bear to be dressed like a doll by Mr. Rochester
20:58to sit like a second dainey
21:00with a golden shower falling daily around me
21:03I resolved to write to my Uncle John in Madeira
21:07who had been informed that I was dead
21:09if I had the prospect of one day bringing Mr. Rochester a fortune
21:15be it never so small
21:17I could better endure to be kept by him now
21:20there
21:23I declare Miss Jane you look almost pretty
21:27Mr. Rochester may be proud of his bride after all
21:30try the veil
21:34it is too fine
21:37I should have preferred a square of plain lace
21:39but it was worn by Mr. Edward's mother and her mother before her
21:43that only serves to make it too solemn an object for such as I
21:47what nonsense
21:48you may wear it with head held high
21:51have you not won him against all odds
21:54it's like a dream
21:55I cannot believe it
21:58I cannot believe it
22:08in the Navy
22:10this could go
22:11I cannot believe
22:16Mm-hmm
22:46Sophie, Sophie what are you doing?
23:16Sophie
23:37Sophie
23:45And these dreams weigh on your spirits now, Jane.
23:54Now I am with you, little nervous subject.
23:57Forget visionary woe.
23:58Think only of real happiness.
24:01Do you love me, Jane?
24:03Repeat that you do.
24:04I do, sir.
24:06I do with my whole heart.
24:08Look wicked, Jane.
24:10Coin one of your wild, shy, provoking smiles.
24:13Tease me, vex me as you have these last weeks.
24:16Tell me you hate me.
24:17Do anything but move me.
24:18I will tease you and vex you, sir, to your heart's content.
24:22When I finish my tale.
24:24I thought you told me all.
24:26I thought I'd learned the source of your melancholy in a dream.
24:29There's more.
24:31I'll not believe it.
24:33I warn you of incredulity beforehand.
24:36His disquietude, his apprehensive impatience surprised me.
24:42Was I looking for comfort where there would be none?
24:46I woke from my dream of Thornfield as a dreary ruin.
24:50And a light dazzled my eyes.
24:52Daylight, I thought.
24:54No, a candle.
24:55Sophie has come in.
24:57Then a form emerged and my blood crept cold in my veins.
25:01Sophie, I cried.
25:03But it was not she, nor Leia, nor Mrs Fairfax.
25:06No, nor even that strange woman, Grace Poole.
25:09It must have been one of them.
25:10No, sir, I solemnly assure you.
25:13It seemed a woman.
25:15Tall, with thick, dark hair.
25:18Her face...
25:19I wish I could forget that savage face.
25:21She took my wedding veil and placed it over her head.
25:28Then?
25:30Then what did she do?
25:32Remove the veil once more and rent it in two parts.
25:36Then she came towards me, thrust the candle close to my face.
25:40Her lurid visage flamed over mine.
25:42And for only the second time in my life, I became insensible from terror.
25:49Great God.
25:53Who was with you when you revived?
25:56No one but the broad day, sir.
25:59The creature of an over-stimulated brain.
26:02No, sir.
26:02The thing was real.
26:04As your previous dreams?
26:06Is Thornfield a ruin?
26:08Am I leaving you without a tear, a kiss, a word?
26:12Not yet.
26:13Am I about to?
26:15There.
26:15The clock announces the day, which is to bind us indissolubly.
26:23And once we are united,
26:26there shall be no recurrence of these mental terrors, I assure you.
26:29It was no mental terror, sir.
26:32For there on the carpet in full daylight was the veil, torn in two.
26:37Oh, my darling.
26:39I thank God if anything malignant had come near you last night,
26:42it was only the veil that was torn.
26:44Do you think what might have happened?
26:48Now,
26:49it was half dream, half true.
26:52A woman did, I doubt not, enter your room, tear your veil,
26:55and that woman was Grace Poole.
26:56Oh, no, sir.
26:57Yes, it was she.
26:58In a state between waking and sleeping,
27:00you ascribe to her a goblin appearance,
27:01different from her own.
27:03Her hair, her black face.
27:05But I had not referred to the blackness of her face.
27:07I see you would ask why I keep such a woman as Grace Poole in my house,
27:10and I will tell you.
27:13When we've been married, a year and a day.
27:18Are you satisfied, Jane?
27:21Do you accept my solution of the mystery?
27:23Seems the only possible one, sir.
27:26Satisfied I was not.
27:27But to please him, I answered with a contented smile.
27:31It is something of relief, sir.
27:33Could you not share Adele's bed tonight?
27:36It is no wonder the incident has made you nervous.
27:39Promise me to go to the nursery.
27:41I shall be glad to.
27:42And fasten the door securely on the inside.
27:44And now, no more somber thoughts.
27:51Chase dull care away, Janet.
27:54The wind has fallen.
27:57It's a lovely night.
27:59Tonight is serene.
28:06And so am I.
28:08And tonight you will not dream of separation and sorrow,
28:11but of happy love and blissful union.
28:13These two persons present come now to be joined.
28:22Therefore, if any man can show any just cause
28:25why they may not lawfully be joined together,
28:28let him now speak,
28:29or else hereafter forever hold his peace.
28:32Now, no.
28:35He may yet himself recant.
28:38I require and charge you both,
28:40as you will answer at the dreadful day of judgment,
28:43when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed,
28:46that if either of you know any impediment
28:48why ye may not be lawfully joined together in that valley,
28:52ye do now confess it.
28:54For be ye well assured that so many as are coupled together,
28:57otherwise than God's word doth allow,
29:00are not joined together by God,
29:03neither is their matrimony lawful.
29:06He paused, as the custom is.
29:09The marriage cannot go on.
29:12I declare the existence of an impediment.
29:17Proceed.
29:23I cannot proceed without some investigation
29:26of the charge of impediment.
29:27The objector had his opportunity.
29:29He did not take it.
29:30He's been enjoined to hold his peace forever.
29:31Proceed.
29:32I cannot, Mr. Rochester.
29:34I waited, sir,
29:35lest you might yourself recant.
29:38Proceed.
29:39The ceremony is quite broken off.
29:41I'm in a condition to prove my allegation.
29:44An insuperable impediment to this marriage exists.
29:47What is its nature?
29:49What is its nature?
29:54Perhaps it can be explained away.
29:56It cannot be.
29:58It simply consists in the existence of a previous marriage.
30:02Mr. Rochester has a wife now living.
30:07He disavowed nothing.
30:09Who are you?
30:17My name is Briggs, a solicitor of Essex Street, London.
30:21And you would thrust on me a wife?
30:22I would remind you of her existence, sir,
30:25which the law recognizes if you do not.
30:28Favor me with an account of her.
30:30With her name, her parentage, her place of abode.
30:34Certainly.
30:34I affirm and can prove that on the 20th of October, A.D. 1821,
30:49Edward Fairfax Rochester, of Thornfield Hall, Yorkshire,
30:54was married to my sister, Bertha Antoinetta Mason,
30:58daughter of Jonas Mason Merchant,
31:01and of Antoinetta Mason, his wife,
31:03a Creole
31:04at the church of St. Paul,
31:07Spanish Town, Jamaica.
31:09The record of the marriage
31:11will be found in the register of that church.
31:14A copy of it is now in my possession.
31:17Signed, Richard Mason.
31:21That,
31:22if a genuine document,
31:24may prove that I have been married.
31:26But it does not prove that the woman
31:27mentioned therein as my wife is still living.
31:29She was three months ago.
31:31I have a witness to the fact
31:33whose testimony even you, sir,
31:35will scarcely controvert.
31:37Produce him.
31:39Or proceed to hell, sir.
31:41He is here.
31:42Mr. Mason,
31:45have the goodness to step forward.
31:47You.
32:02What have you to say?
32:05Please, Rochester.
32:07The devil is in it
32:08if you cannot answer distinctly.
32:09I demand again, Dick.
32:13What have you to say?
32:15Sir.
32:18Do not forget this is a sacred place.
32:22Are you aware, sir,
32:24whether or not this gentleman's wife
32:26is still living?
32:29Courage.
32:30Speak out.
32:31She is now at Thornfield Hall.
32:38I saw her there last April.
32:41I, my brother.
32:42At Thornfield?
32:44Impossible.
32:45I'm an old resident
32:46in this neighborhood, sir,
32:47and I've never heard
32:49of a Mrs. Rochester at the hall.
32:50No.
32:52By God,
32:53I took care that none
32:54should hear of it.
32:55He held council with himself,
33:00formed his resolve,
33:02and announced it.
33:03Enough!
33:04Wood, close your book.
33:05John Green, leave the church.
33:06There'll be no wedding today.
33:10Fate has outmaneuvered me,
33:12or Providence checked me.
33:15I'm little better than a devil
33:16at this moment,
33:17and deserve, no doubt,
33:18the sternest judgments of God
33:19even to the quenchless fire
33:21and deathless worm.
33:22What this lawyer
33:25and his client say is true.
33:28I am married,
33:30but to what kind of wife
33:32you shall see directly.
33:35Bertha Mason, by name,
33:37sister of this resolute personage.
33:39Cheer up, Dick.
33:40Never fear me.
33:41I'd as soon strike a woman as you.
33:47My wife
33:48is mad,
33:51gentlemen.
33:52And she came of a mad family.
33:55Idiots and maniacs
33:56through three generations.
33:59I found out
34:00after I wed the daughter,
34:02for they were silent
34:03on family secrets before.
34:05Oh,
34:06I went through rich scenes.
34:09Briggs,
34:09Wood,
34:10Mason,
34:11I invite you all
34:12to visit Mrs. Poole's patient
34:13and my wife.
34:15You shall see
34:16what sort of
34:17being
34:18I was cheated into espousing,
34:20and judge whether or not
34:22I had a right
34:22to break the compact.
34:29This girl knew
34:30no more than you
34:31of the disgusting secret.
34:36She thought all was fair
34:37and legal
34:38and never dreamt
34:40she was going to be entrapped
34:41into a feigned union
34:43with a defrauded wretch.
34:44come.
34:49All of you.
34:49All of you.
34:50for the right about every soul.
35:10Away with your congratulations.
35:12Who wants them?
35:14Not I.
35:16They're 15 years
35:17too late!
35:21Mason!
35:24Did you never hear
35:25rumors, Wood?
35:26Some said she was
35:27my bastard half-sister.
35:28Others my cast-off mistress.
35:30You remember this place, Mason?
35:41She bit and stabbed him here.
35:51Good morning, Mrs. Poole.
35:54Morning, sir.
35:55How are you on your charge today?
35:57We're tolerable, sir.
35:59Snappish, but not rageous.
36:01Be careful, sir.
36:02She sees you.
36:03You better not stay.
36:04You must allow me a few moments, Grace.
36:06You must allow me.
36:07Take care, sir.
36:08We better leave her.
36:09Go to that devil.
36:13Take care.
36:14You lie!
36:18You say
36:18you take me home.
36:28Grace!
36:35Grace!
36:41That is my wife.
36:51Such is the sole
36:52conjugal embrace
36:54grace I'm ever to know.
36:59And this is what I wish to have.
37:02This young girl
37:03who stands so grave
37:05and quiet
37:06at the mouth of hell.
37:09Compare them.
37:12Then judge me,
37:13priest of the gospel
37:13and man of the law.
37:15And remember
37:16with what judgment
37:17you shall be judged.
37:18Go now.
37:31I must shut up
37:32my prize.
37:33You, madam,
37:49are cleared of all blame.
37:51Your uncle
37:51will be glad to hear of it
37:52if indeed he still be living
37:53when Mr. Mason
37:55returns to Madeira.
37:56My uncle.
37:58What of him?
37:58Do you know him?
37:59Mr. Mason does.
38:01Mr. John Eyre
38:02has been the fun child
38:03correspondent of his house
38:04for some years.
38:06We deal in Madeira wine,
38:07madam.
38:08Your uncle received
38:09your letter
38:09concerning your
38:10contemplated marriage
38:11to Mr. Rochester
38:12while I was staying with him.
38:13Mr. Mason was on his
38:14return to Jamaica
38:15but had stopped
38:16to recover his health.
38:17And you
38:18revealed the true
38:19state of matters to him.
38:22I did.
38:23Whereupon your uncle
38:24implored Mr. Mason
38:25to prevent the false marriage
38:27being himself
38:28on his last sickbed.
38:29Mr. Mason referred to me
38:31and I used all dispatch.
38:33I'm thankful
38:34that I was not too late
38:35as doubtless
38:35you must be too.
38:38Was I?
38:40As yet
38:41I could not tell.
38:43Were I not morally
38:43certain your uncle
38:44will be dead
38:45before I return
38:45I would suggest
38:46that you should
38:46accompany me.
38:47I suggest
38:48Miss Eyre
38:48remain in England
38:49until she can hear
38:50further from
38:51or of
38:52her uncle.
38:54Yes.
38:55Have we anything else
38:56to stay for?
38:57No, let us be gone.
39:07I shall await
39:08Mr. Rochester
39:09in the library
39:09Miss Eyre.
39:11By all means.
39:12Accept my
39:13sympathy Miss Eyre.
39:17I was myself
39:21still
39:22without obvious
39:24change
39:25yet where was
39:28the Jane Eyre
39:29of yesterday
39:29where was her life
39:32where her prospects
39:34my hopes
39:37were all dead
39:38struck with
39:40a subtle doom
39:41such as in
39:42one night
39:42fell on all
39:43the firstborn
39:44of Egypt
39:44I looked
39:47on my cherished
39:48wishes
39:48they lay
39:51stark
39:51chill
39:52corpses
39:52that could
39:53never revive
39:54I looked
39:56at my love
39:57it shivered
40:00in my heart
40:01like a suffering
40:02child
40:02in a cold cradle
40:04I wish you
40:08good day
