While

arranging

my

hair

,

I

looked

at

my

face

in

the

glass

,

and

felt

it

was

no

longer

plain

:

there

was

hope

in

its

aspect

and

life

in

its

colour

;

and

my

eyes

seemed

as

if

they

had

beheld

the

fount

of

fruition

,

and

borrowed

beams

from

the

lustrous

ripple

.

I

had

often

been

unwilling

to

look

at

my

master

,

because

I

feared

he

could

not

be

pleased

at

my

look

;

but

I

was

sure

I

might

lift

my

face

to

his

now

,

and

not

cool

his

affection

by

its

expression

.

I

took

a

plain

but

clean

and

light

summer

dress

from

my

drawer

and

put

it

on

:

it

seemed

no

attire

had

ever

so

well

become

me

,

because

none

had

I

ever

worn

in

so

blissful

a

mood

.

I

was

not

surprised

,

when

I

ran

down

into

the

hall

,

to

see

that

a

brilliant

June

morning

had

succeeded

to

the

tempest

of

the

night

;

and

to

feel

,

through

the

open

glass

door

,

the

breathing

of

a

fresh

and

fragrant

breeze

.

Nature

must

be

gladsome

when

I

was

so

happy

.

A

beggar-woman

and

her

little

boy

--

pale

,

ragged

objects

both

--

were

coming

up

the

walk

,

and

I

ran

down

and

gave

them

all

the

money

I

happened

to

have

in

my

purse

--

some

three

or

four

shillings

:

good

or

bad

,

they

must

partake

of

my

jubilee

.

The

rooks

cawed

,

and

blither

birds

sang

;

but

nothing

was

so

merry

or

so

musical

as

my

own

rejoicing

heart

.

Mrs.

Fairfax

surprised

me

by

looking

out

of

the

window

with

a

sad

countenance

,

and

saying

gravely

--

"

Miss

Eyre

,

will

you

come

to

breakfast

?

"

During

the

meal

she

was

quiet

and

cool

:

but

I

could

not

undeceive

her

then

.

I

must

wait

for

my

master

to

give

explanations

;

and

so

must

she

.

I

ate

what

I

could

,

and

then

I

hastened

upstairs

.

I

met

Adele

leaving

the

schoolroom

.

"

Where

are

you

going

?

It

is

time

for

lessons

.

"

"

Mr.

Rochester

has

sent

me

away

to

the

nursery

.

"

"

Where

is

he

?

"

"

In

there

,

"

pointing

to

the

apartment

she

had

left

;

and

I

went

in

,

and

there

he

stood

.

Отключить рекламу

"

Come

and

bid

me

good-morning

,

"

said

he

.

I

gladly

advanced

;

and

it

was

not

merely

a

cold

word

now

,

or

even

a

shake

of

the

hand

that

I

received

,

but

an

embrace

and

a

kiss

.

It

seemed

natural

:

it

seemed

genial

to

be

so

well

loved

,

so

caressed

by

him

.

"

Jane

,

you

look

blooming

,

and

smiling

,

and

pretty

,

"

said

he

:

"

truly

pretty

this

morning

.

Is

this

my

pale

,

little

elf

?

Is

this

my

mustard-seed

?

This

little

sunny-faced

girl

with

the

dimpled

cheek

and

rosy

lips

;

the

satin-smooth

hazel

hair

,

and

the

radiant

hazel

eyes

?

"

(

I

had

green

eyes

,

reader

;

but

you

must

excuse

the

mistake

:

for

him

they

were

new-dyed

,

I

suppose

.

)

"

It

is

Jane

Eyre

,

sir

.
