Jane Eyre Page #4

---

you see.

And he was expected

to sacrifice everything

for the family.

He only inherited Thornfield

nine years ago.

When he was a child,

he was a gentle boy.

He's clearly not barbarous

if he's taking care of Adele.

Oh, no.

No, Mr. Rochester does accept

his responsibilities.

He's a just and liberal

landlord to his tenants.

He's well travelled

and very intelligent.

But when he talks to you,

you can't be sure

whether he is in jest

or in earnest.

Whether he is pleased

or the contrary.

He is not a happy man.

Oh my goodness, those flowers!

I keep telling Leah that all the

rooms must be kept in readiness.

Mr. Rochester's visits

may be rare,

but we are never warned.

What was that?

One of the servants most likely,

Grace Poole.

Did you hear it?

Oh, yes.

I often hear it.

She does sewing in

one of these rooms.

Grace!

Too much noise!

Remember instructions.

We can go back this way.

Your arithmetic

is not very good, Adele.

It's dull.

I don't care for it.

Why can't we do something else?

It's my job to give

you a good education.

Arithmetic is

an important part of that.

Mama said it was important

to sing and dance.

That wasn't dull.

If you re good,

I'll teach you the piano.

Will you?

When?

Perhaps tomorrow.

Why not now?

Arithmetic today, piano tomorrow.

I'm going for a walk,

and when I come back,

I want to see how many

of those sums

you have got right.

But they re so difficult.

You can do it, I know you can.

Are you injured?

Can I do anything?

You can stand to my side.

If you re hurt,

I'll fetch help.

Thank you.

I have no broken bones.

Go on then.

I cannot leave you here until

I see you are able

to mount your horse.

You should be at home yourself.

Where do you come from?

There.

That house

with the battlements?

Yes, sir.

Whose house is it?

Mr. Rochester's.

Do you know Mr. Rochester?

I have never seen him.

What is your position?

I'm the Governess.

Aah, the Governess.

I believe I must ask

your help after all.

If you'll be so kind. Yes sir.

Would you get hold

of my horse s bridle

and lead him to me?

You are not afraid?

No, sir.

The mountain will

never come to Mahomet,

so help Mahomet

go to the mountain.

Would you come here?

Excuse me.

Necessity compels me

to make use of you.

Thank you.

Would you hand me my hat?

And crop.

Thank you for your help.

Now...

make haste home as fast

as you can.

Whose dog is this?

He came with the Master.

With whom?

The Master.

Mr. Rochester.

He just arrived.

Here is Miss Eyre, sir.

I trust the leg more comfortable?

Doctor will be here

in the morning.

Let Miss Eyre be seated.

Look what Mr. Rochester

has brought me.
