There, that shall take your cloak, Miss.
No, thank you, Barbara.

Is there anyone in the teacher's room?

I don't know, Miss.

Shall I bring a pot of tea to warm you?
No, thank you. I wish to be alone for a

minute.

There, you are back at last.

You said I might go to the village, Miss
Worth. Yes, and I acceded to your plea

to perform an errand there yesterday and
the day before and every day of my

short time here. I hope I have not been
remiss in my duty.

Indeed, you performed them well, as I
was led to expect when I took over the

superintendentship from Miss Temple. She
spoke of you in the most glowing terms.

I would not wish to have disappointed
you, Miss Woods. It is disconcerting

a teacher I'd been led to expect would
give me strong support quits the

in such haste.

And if I may say so, agitation every
afternoon.

One wonders what is the reason.

It shall not happen again, Miss Woods.

Let us hope not.

Well, you know where she goes for post
office.

Oh, how do you know?

Well, especially that old post.

Oh, well, she says anything.

Well, I every afternoon this week enter
the post office from Miss Eyre to see if

there's a letter for J .E. And when she
finds it, she marches out with a face

like a funeral.

I believe it is your turn to teach the
girls study hour this evening.

Yes, Miss Watson, then I read prayers to
them and feed them to bed. Do not let

them make you late for teacher's supper.

J .E. is in a position to give
satisfactory references.

A situation can be offered where there
is but one pupil, a little girl, and

where the salary is £30 per annum. All
particulars to Mrs. Fairfax Thornfield

near Millcote.

Very well, Barbara, but do not let it
occur again.

That is all. You may go.

Miss Watt, you wish to speak to me, Miss
Eyre? If I may, Miss Watt, it concerns

a matter of much importance to me. I am
very busy, Miss Eyre.

But if it's urgent, speak now.

Miss Watts, I have the possibility of
another situation.

You wish to leave, Lowood? It is a
situation where the salary would be 30

per annum.

Double the amount I am receiving now.

And you would like me to lay the matter
before Mr. Brocklehurst? If you would, I

would be most grateful.

Mrs. Reed, as your natural guardian,
will need to be approached for her

Mrs. Reed will not care what happens to
me. And then, Miss Eyre, the matter must

be laid before the committee.

It may take some time.

But I have no doubt that since you've
always conducted yourself well, a

testimonial of courage and capacity will
be furnished to you.

Thank you, Miss Watts.

Oh, Miss Hare, I was just coming for
you. There's a person just arrived who

wishes to see you.

Oh, that'll be the carrier for my box.
No, no, this is your woman.

The carrier won't come for another half
hour.

Now, he's to take my box to the inn. I
shall be there in the morning to take

coach. Who's the visitor?

It's her, I'm sure.

I could have told her anywhere.

Well, who is it?

You've not forgotten me, Miss Eyre. Oh,
Bessie, Bessie.

Bessie. Oh.

Oh,

Barbara, this is a very dear old friend,
Bessie. She was my nurse at Gatehead.

The only one who was ever kind to me.
Oh, well, that'll be one more for tea

then, Miss Eyre.

Oh, dear, where can we go and talk? The
teacher who shares my room is studying

up there. The teacher's room is empty,
Miss.

Come, we've so much to talk about.

Bessie, you're married?

Yes, I've been married nearly five
years. To Robert Levin, the coachman.

I remember him. He's an excellent man.
With a little boy named Bobby and a

little girl named... Guess what?

What? Jane.

Oh, Bessie, thank you.

And have you left Gateshead? No, the old
porter left and we were put into Lodge.

You've not grown so very tall, Miss
Jane.

Not so very stout.

I fear you're disappointed in me,
Bessie. Come, sit down. Well, no, not

You were genteel, and now you look like
a lady, and it's as much as I ever

expected of you.

Well, you were never a beauty as a
child.

I dare say you're clever, though. What
can you do?

Can you play on piano?

A little.

Oh, the misreads could not play as well.
I always said you could surpass them,

and you have.

What else can you do? Can you draw?

That is one of my paintings over the
fireplace.

Oh, well, that's youthful.

Bessie, did my aunt send you?

Oh, Lord, no.

But she did have a letter saying you
were going away to another place.

So I thought I'd set off and have a look
at you before you went quite away.

Oh, bless you. You'll want to hear about
family.

Well, Miss Georgiana is very handsome
and nearly ran off with Lord, but her

sister told on her, and now they quarrel
like cat and dog.

Mr John is a great disappointment.

He was put to study law, but it were no
use, and now he's ruining his health

with bad living.

Aunt is well enough to look at, but
she's breaking her heart over Mr John

fear it'll be the death of her. No,
Betsy, please. I want no news of the

They've never thought any of me.

Let us talk of ourselves.

Well, never.

Well, did Mrs not write and tell you
when man came?

What man?

Well, you know how Mrs Reed always said
your father's people were poor and

despicable. Well, they may be poor, but
I believe they're as much gentry as the

Reeds are. For one day, oh...

It must be seven years ago. And Mr. Eyre
came to Gateshead asking to see you.

I was sure Mrs. must have written to
tell you.

She's never written. Oh, dear.

Well, Mrs. told him you were at school
some 50 miles off.

He seemed so much disappointed.

For he was going away to a foreign
country and his ship was to sail in a

two. He looked very much the gentleman
and I think he was your father's

And what foreign country was he going
to, Bessie? Oh.

An island thousands of miles off where
they make wine. The butler did tell me.

Madeira?

Yes, yes, that's it. That's the very
word.

And he went away?

Yes, he did not stay many minutes in
house.

Misses were very high with him.

Afterwards she called him a sneaking
tradesman.

My Robert believes he were a wine
merchant.

Perhaps. Or a clerk or an agent to a
wine merchant.

Miss Jane, I cannot stay long.

A wagoner is... Nothing who will carry
me home.

Not until you've had a good meal and a
rest. Come, Barbara must have that tea

ready by now.

We'll go into the kitchen and talk and
talk and talk.

I must tell you what has happened. I'm
starting a new life. No.

Yes.

Welcome to Thornfield, ma 'am.

Please come in.

John will take your box up to your room.

Aye, it's almost John.

Will you walk this way, ma 'am?

Miss Banger, ma 'am?

How do you do, my dear?

How do you do, ma 'am?

Mrs. Fairfax, I think. Yes, you are
right.

I'm afraid you've had a tedious ride
from Millcote.

John, drive slowly.

And were you long in the coach before
that? The coach left Luton at four o

'clock this morning. I had to rise
before three o 'clock. Oh, you must be

Come and sit down.

Is this not your chair? Oh, I shall be
comfortable enough here.

And your hands look numb with cold.

Leah, are the refreshments ready?

Yes, Mum. And make some hot negus as
well. The water's boiling, Mum.

I hope I shall have the pleasure of
seeing Miss Fairfax tonight.

I was glad to arrive before nightfall,
hoping to see my young pupil.

Miss Fairfax. Miss Fairfax?

Oh, you mean Miss Barnes.

Barnes is the name of your future pupil.

Barnes? Yes.

Oh, yes, thank you, dear.

Sip that, Negus, and warm yourself.

Indeed, then, she is not your daughter.

No, I have no family.

I am so...

Pleased you are come.

It will be quite pleasant having someone
with whom to talk.

Thornfield is a fine old hall, but in
the quiet season, you know, one feels

dreary. Quite alone.

Well, I say quite alone.

Leah, my maid, is a nice enough girl to
be sure. And John and his wife, well,

are very decent people, but then you see
they are only servants.

Well, eat that food, Miss Eyre.

Don't stand on ceremony. You may eat and
listen to me prattling.

room next to mine is prepared for you.
It is only a small apartment, but I

thought you would like it better than
one of the large front chambers.

To be sure, the front chambers have
finer furniture, but they are so large

solitary. I never sleep in there myself.

Here we are.

Oh, it is beautiful. Thank you, Mrs.

Fairfax, and thank you for your
kindness.

Kindness? Oh, rubbish.

Now I have someone with whom I can talk.

But I won't come in and keep you from
your bed with my chatter.

Good night, my dear. Good night, Mrs.
Fairfax.

Good morning, my dear.

I see you are an early riser. It's all
so beautiful. Every moment is precious.

Come in, my dear. I have some tea in my
room.

The tea is just right.

How did you like Thornfield?

Oh, I like it very much.

Yes, it is a pretty place.

Well, I fear it will be getting out of
order if Mr. Rochester doesn't take it

into his head to come and reside here
permanently.

Mr. Rochester? Who is he?

Oh, the owner of... Thornfield.

Did you not know his name was Rochester?

I thought Thornfield belonged to you. To
me?

Oh, bless you, child.

What an idea.

No, I am only the housekeeper.

The manager.

To be sure, I am distantly related to
the Rochester's. Or rather, my husband

was. He was the clergyman, you know.

Incumbent of Hay, the little village
beyond the hill.

The present Mr. Rochester's mother was a
Fairfax and second cousin to my

husband. But I never presume on the
connection.

My employer is always civil, and I
expect nothing more.

And the little girl, my pupil?

Oh, she is Mr.

Rochester's ward.

And he asked me to engage a governess
for her.

I hear her.

Come, let me introduce you.

And after your schoolwork is finished...
I shall show you around the house.

Good morning, Miss Adele. Come and

meet the lady who is to teach you and
turn you into a clever woman one day.

I did not imagine I had a foreign

pupil. Miss Adele was born on the
continent, I believe.

and has been in England only six months.
She speaks English quite well, but is

rather unwilling to do so.

I can get little out of her. This is
Sophie, her bonne, as she calls her

Mademoiselle? Nous aurons bien des
choses à faire ensemble, Sophie.

Oh, oui, bien sûr.

Ah, elle parle parfaitement français.

Yes, my dear, and a very good teacher.

And I've practiced every day for many
years.

Do you understand me?

Yes, mademoiselle.

And since you are to speak English like
an English lady, from now on we will

speak only English.

I will try, mademoiselle, mais
quelquefois... Try.

You will succeed.

What is your name?

Jane Eyre.

Eyre.

I wish you could ask her some questions
about her parents.

You will learn more than I could.

Adele, do you live in Paris?

Oui, mademoiselle.

Yes, mademoiselle.

With whom did you live? I lived long ago
with Mama, but...

Oh, poor little lamb.

And after that?

We live with some poor people.

But Mr. Rochester ever knew. He came.

He asked if I would like to live with
him in England, for I knew him when my

mother was alive.

And he gave me the bell robber this way.

Pretty dressed in toilet.

But now he has left me all alone, and
he's not here.

He has had to go abroad again.

I can sing and dance and speak many
poems. Shall I dance?

Not now, dear.

We have a lovely school room ready for
you with a piano forte and globes and

that you will need. Shall I show it to
you? Please do, Mrs. Fairfax. Sophie,

will have much to do during lesson time.

Madame?

Sophie? Vous aurez des choses à faire
pendant nos leçons? Oh, oui,

Come along, then.

Come, my dear.

In England, little girls do as they're
told. Come along. I want to hear you

sing. Come in,

my dear.

Your morning school hours are over now.

Yes.

The schoolroom is admirable. You keep
everything in such good order. Why, Miss

Eyre, although Mr. Rochester's visits
here are rare, they are always sudden

unexpected.

So I keep his house in instant
readiness.

Mr. Rochester's such an exacting,
fastidious man. Oh, he has a gentleman's

tastes and habits. He expects to find
his house managed in accordance with

Do you like him? Is he generally liked?
Oh, yes.

The Rochester's have owned most of the
land here, time out of mind, and the

family have always been respected.

But do you like him?

Well, I have no cause but to like him.

Then so do his tenants, to whom he is
generous, although he's hardly ever

them. But has he no peculiarities? I
mean, what is his character?

He is a very good master.

Is that all you know of him?

Well, his character is unimpeachable, I
suppose.

say he is peculiar. He travels a great
deal and has seen a great deal of the

world, I should think.

I dare say he is clever, but I have
never had much conversation with him.

In what way is he peculiar?

I don't know.

It is not easy to describe. You feel it
when he speaks to you.

You cannot really be sure whether he is
in jest or earnest, whether he is

pleased or the contrary.

You do not thoroughly understand him.

Or at least I do not.

But he is a very good master.

Now, I promised to show you round the
house, didn't I?

Thank you.

I did not imagine you had such grand
apartments.

I dare not hope to see anything like it
in my life.

It is only the dining room and the
drawing room.

I open the curtains every day to air the
rooms.

And every bedroom ready for you? Oh, the
master will not catch me napping. Well,

now you have seen the whole house. I
have not seen the upper floor yet. Oh,

there is nothing to see.

You told me there was a wonderful view
from the ledge.

You wish to go up on the roof?

Oh, well, very well.

The view indeed was splendid.

But I thought that Mrs. Fairfax, for
some reason, was uneasy, lest I should

prolong my enjoyment of it.

Thank you for taking so much trouble. I
would not admit such a pleasing

prospect. This is a grand country.

Do the servants sleep in these rooms?

Oh, no, the servants sleep at the back.
No one sleeps here.

Oh, surely there's a ghost.

Ghost? Oh, not that I know of.

Mrs. Fairbanks, did you hear that laugh?
Who is it?

One of the servants, most likely.
Perhaps Grace Poole. She tones up here,

sometimes Lear is with her, and they are
noisy.

Grace?

Grace?

Too much noise, Grace.

Remember directions.

She does the sewing and helps with the
housework.

She's a little too fond of Porter, but
she works well enough to let us go down.

It is too disagreeable here.

We do not want our dinner cold, do we?

I could sit and dream on those legs for
hours.

I should not go up there again if I were
you.

The wind, it can come in terrible gusts.

It is dangerous.

Anyone may blame me who likes, but often
in the next few months, when I was

free, I climbed to the roof where I
could look out to the far skyline and

to reach past it to the busy world
beyond.

I had the promise of a smooth career.

My pupil had been spoiled and indulged,
but soon became obedient and teachable.

In spite of my blessings, I was restless
of my tranquility.

I could not help it. The restlessness
was in my nature.

There must be millions like me, I
thought, who must have action.

Women especially, who wish for more than
their narrow lot.

Is the matter, Mrs. Poole?

Are you not well?

They'll curate me.

You're not going out?

I'm going to the village to post a
letter for Mrs. Fairfax.

But it's two miles over the hill, and
it's bitter cold up there most times,

it will get dark terrible soon.

I shall enjoy the walk. All right.

Are you hurt, sir? Can I help you? Stand
aside.

I can fetch help, sir.

I have no broken bones. It's only a
sprain.

I shall stay with you until I can see
you can mount your horse.

You should be at home.

Where do you come from?

Thornfield Hall.

I've been to post a letter.

Thornfield?

I'm a governess there.

Ah, yes.

The governess.

Come here.

Excuse me.

Necessity compels me to make you useful.

Stand aside.

Thank you.

I love...

Goodness, Jane, there you are. The
master is here. He has had a fall. His

is sprained. I have just taken Mr.
Carter, the surgeon, to him. He cannot

get up. Of course he can.

You should not be standing up, sir. Dr.
Carter, I have the aid of your good

self.

You are Mr.

Rochester.

An intelligent deduction, Miss Eyre.

Miss Eyre?

I should be glad if you would take tea
with me tomorrow.

6 p .m.

Good night, sir.

Yes, sir.

Good night, sir.
