00:00what
00:30his form was of the same strong and stalwart contour
00:34a year's face could not quell or blight its vigorous prime
00:39yet he looked desperate brooding in his blind ferocity
00:45where was his daring stride now

03:41Jane Eyre
03:43Jane Eyre
03:45Jane Eyre
03:46yes I've come back to you
03:48I found you out
03:50in truth
03:51in the flesh
03:52my living Jane
03:53you touch me
03:54you hold me sir
03:56I'm not cold like a corpse
03:58nor vacant like air am I?
03:59my living darling
04:01no
04:03no
04:04I cannot be so blessed
04:06it's a dream
04:08such as I've had
04:09when I've kissed her
04:10as thus
04:14but I always awoke
04:15and found her gone
04:18gentle soft dream
04:20you will fly too
04:22but kiss me before you go
04:24Jane
04:25there sir
04:31it is you
04:33you're not
04:35dead in some ditch
04:37under some stream
04:39nor a pining outcast
04:41amongst strangers
04:42no sir
04:43I'm an independent woman
04:45what do you mean?
04:47my uncle in Madeira
04:49left me five thousand pounds
04:51ah
04:53this is practical
04:55this is real
04:57I should never dream that
04:59besides it's that peculiar voice of hers
05:02so animating and piquant
05:04it cheers my withered heart
05:08and you're an independent woman
05:11a rich woman
05:12I am my own mistress
05:14I can choose to stay with you if I wish
05:17do you?
05:19blind lameter like me
05:21if you do not object
05:23oh I will be your neighbour
05:25your nurse
05:26your housekeeper
05:27your
05:28had I too rashly overleaped conventionalities
05:31I'd made the proposal from the idea that he wished and would ask me to be his wife
05:36perhaps I had played the fool unwittingly
05:40no
05:41don't believe me
05:42I've touched you and heard you
05:44I cannot give up these joys
05:46I will stay
05:47I have said so
05:48to be my nurse
05:49you're young
05:51you must
05:52marry
05:53someday
05:54I do not care about being married
05:56you should care Janet
05:58if I were as I once was I'd try and make you care
06:02but
06:04a sightless block
06:06I took fresh courage
06:08seeing now where the difficulty lay
06:11it's time someone undertook to re-humanize you
06:14you
06:15you look like
06:16Nebuchadnezzar in the fields
06:18your hair remind me of eagle's feathers
06:21your nails have grown like birds claws I've not yet noticed
06:25on this arm I have neither hand nor nails
06:28a mere stump
06:29it is a pity to see it
06:31pity to see your eyes
06:34and scar on your forehead
06:36and the worst of it is one is in danger of making too much of you
06:43and loving you too well for all that
06:46and I must leave you and make a fire
06:50like the candles
06:53can you tell when there's a good fire?
06:56yes I see a glow a red haze
06:59and the candles?
07:01very dimly
07:03each a luminous cloud
07:08can you see me?
07:10no my elf
07:12I'm only thankful to hear you
07:14and touch you
07:16when do you take supper?
07:19I never take supper
07:21oh you shall tonight
07:22I'm hungry
07:23so are you I dare say only
07:26you forget
07:38who the deuce have you been with Jane?
07:40with good people sir
07:42far better than you
07:44hmm they've not diminished your impudence
07:47who were they?
07:48oh you shall not get it out of me tonight
07:50you must wait till tomorrow
07:52to leave my tale half told
07:54will be a sort of security
07:56that I shall appear at your breakfast table to finish it
07:59and I shall bring you not a glass of water
08:01but an egg at least
08:02to say nothing of fried ham
08:04you changeling
08:06fairy born and human bred
08:11now I shall leave you
08:13I've been traveling and I'm tired
08:15Jane one word more
08:17were there any ladies in the house where you've been?
08:21good nights
08:27Miss Parson Rivers is your cousin?
08:29yes
08:31do you like him?
08:33he's a very good man
08:35a good man
08:41a good man hmm
08:42by that do you mean a respectable well conducted man of 50
08:45or 60
08:47St John is but 29 sir
08:51but his brain rather soft
08:53you shrug your shoulders to hear him talk
08:55he talks little
08:57but ever to the point
08:59he is thoroughly educated
09:01but priggish
09:03parsonical
09:04sort of raw curate
09:05half strangled by his white neckcloth
09:07he dresses well
09:09he is a handsome man
09:11tall with fair hair
09:13blue eyes
09:14and a Grecian profile
09:15damn him
09:19perhaps you rather not sit so close to me Miss Eyre
09:21why not Mr Rochester?
09:23the picture you've just drawn is suggestive of a rather too overwhelming contrast
09:27your words have delineated very prettily
09:29a graceful Apollo
09:31your eyes dwell on a Vulcan
09:33a real blacksmith
09:35blind and maimed into the bargain
09:37I had not thought of it before
09:39but you are rather like Vulcan sir
09:41hmm
09:43after you'd returned to reside with your newly discovered cousins
09:47did Rivers spend much time there?
09:49oh yes
09:51the back parlour was both his study and ours
09:53what did you study?
09:55German
09:56and a little Hindustani
09:58Hindustani?
10:00what use could that language be to you?
10:02he wished me to go with him to India sir
10:04ah
10:05the root of the matter
10:07he wanted you to marry him
10:08he asked me to marry him
10:10then you must go
10:12to the husband you've chosen
10:14this St. John Rivers
10:15oh but he is not my husband
10:17nor ever will be
10:19oh he's good and great but
10:21severe as an iceberg
10:23must I leave you sir
10:25to go to him?
10:26I only wanted to tease you a little
10:28to make you less sad
10:29but my scarred vision
10:31my crippled strength
10:33they are honourable scars sir
10:35your sacrifice is legendary
10:37none but speaks well of you
10:39possibly
10:40and the result is I'm no better than the old
10:42lightning struck chestnut tree at Thornfield
10:48what right would that ruin have to bid a budding woodbine
10:51cover its decay with freshness
10:53you are no ruin sir
10:55old Thornfield maybe
10:57I have seen it
10:58but you are not
10:59friends will ever lean towards you
11:01but I want
11:02a wife Jane
11:05do you sir?
11:07yes
11:08is it news to you?
11:09well of course
11:10you've said nothing of it before
11:11is it
11:12unwelcome news?
11:14that depends
11:15on your choice
11:16which you shall make for me
11:18I will abide by your decision
11:20choose then sir
11:22her who loves you best
11:24oh
11:25Jane
11:27will you marry me?
11:28yes sir
11:29a cripple
11:30twenty years older than yourself whom you'll have to lead about by the hand?
11:33oh yes sir
11:34truly Jane?
11:35most truly
11:36oh my darling
11:38god bless you and reward you
11:40to be your wife is for me
11:42to be as happy as I can be on earth
11:44because you delight in sacrifice
11:46but what do I sacrifice?
11:48famine for food
11:50expectation for content
11:52Jane suits me
12:02Jane suits me
12:04do I suit her?
12:06to the finest fibre of my nature sir
