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
