Yes
.
The
present
Mr.
Rochester
has
not
been
very
long
in
possession
of
the
property
;
only
about
nine
years
.
"
"
Nine
years
is
a
tolerable
time
.
Was
he
so
very
fond
of
his
brother
as
to
be
still
inconsolable
for
his
loss
?
"
"
Why
,
no
--
perhaps
not
.
I
believe
there
were
some
misunderstandings
between
them
.
Mr.
Rowland
Rochester
was
not
quite
just
to
Mr.
Edward
;
and
perhaps
he
prejudiced
his
father
against
him
.
The
old
gentleman
was
fond
of
money
,
and
anxious
to
keep
the
family
estate
together
.
He
did
not
like
to
diminish
the
property
by
division
,
and
yet
he
was
anxious
that
Mr.
Edward
should
have
wealth
,
too
,
to
keep
up
the
consequence
of
the
name
;
and
,
soon
after
he
was
of
age
,
some
steps
were
taken
that
were
not
quite
fair
,
and
made
a
great
deal
of
mischief
.
Old
Mr.
Rochester
and
Mr

Rowland
combined
to
bring
Mr.
Edward
into
what
he
considered
a
painful
position
,
for
the
sake
of
making
his
fortune
:
what
the
precise
nature
of
that
position
was
I
never
clearly
knew
,
but
his
spirit
could
not
brook
what
he
had
to
suffer
in
it
.
He
is
not
very
forgiving
:
he
broke
with
his
family
,
and
now
for
many
years
he
has
led
an
unsettled
kind
of
life
.
I
do
n't
think
he
has
ever
been
resident
at
Thornfield
for
a
fortnight
together
,
since
the
death
of
his
brother
without
a
will
left
him
master
of
the
estate
;
and
,
indeed
,
no
wonder
he
shuns
the
old
place
.
"
"
Why
should
he
shun
it
?
"
"
Perhaps
he
thinks
it
gloomy
.
"
The
answer
was
evasive
.
I
should
have
liked
something
clearer
;
but
Mrs.
Fairfax
either
could
not
,
or
would
not
,
give
me
more
explicit
information
of
the
origin
and
nature
of
Mr.
Rochester
's
trials
.
She
averred
they
were
a
mystery
to
herself
,
and
that
what
she
knew
was
chiefly
from
conjecture
.
It
was
evident
,
indeed
,
that
she
wished
me
to
drop
the
subject
,
which
I
did
accordingly
.

For
several
subsequent
days
I
saw
little
of
Mr.
Rochester
.
In
the
mornings
he
seemed
much
engaged
with
business
,
and
,
in
the
afternoon
,
gentlemen
from
Millcote
or
the
neighbourhood
called
,
and
sometimes
stayed
to
dine
with
him
.
When
his
sprain
was
well
enough
to
admit
of
horse
exercise
,
he
rode
out
a
good
deal
;
probably
to
return
these
visits
,
as
he
generally
did
not
come
back
till
late
at
night
.
During
this
interval
,
even
Adele
was
seldom
sent
for
to
his
presence
,
and
all
my
acquaintance
with
him
was
confined
to
an
occasional
rencontre
in
the
hall
,
on
the
stairs
,
or
in
the
gallery
,
when
he
would
sometimes
pass
me
haughtily
and
coldly
,
just
acknowledging
my
presence
by
a
distant
nod
or
a
cool
glance
,
and
sometimes
bow
and
smile
with
gentlemanlike
affability
.
His
changes
of
mood
did
not
offend
me
,
because
I
saw
that
I
had
nothing
to
do
with
their
alternation
;
the
ebb
and
flow
depended
on
causes
quite
disconnected
with
me
.
One
day
he
had
had
company
to
dinner
,
and
had
sent
for
my
portfolio
;
in
order
,
doubtless
,
to
exhibit
its
contents
:
the
gentlemen
went
away
early
,
to
attend
a
public
meeting
at
Millcote
,
as
Mrs.
Fairfax
informed
me
;
but
the
night
being
wet
and
inclement
,
Mr.
Rochester
did
not
accompany
them
.
Soon
after
they
were
gone
he
rang
the
bell
:
a
message
came
that
I
and
Adele
were
to
go
downstairs
.
