In
other
people
's
presence
I
was
,
as
formerly
,
deferential
and
quiet
;
any
other
line
of
conduct
being
uncalled
for
:
it
was
only
in
the
evening
conferences
I
thus
thwarted
and
afflicted
him
.
He
continued
to
send
for
me
punctually
the
moment
the
clock
struck
seven
;
though
when
I
appeared
before
him
now
,
he
had
no
such
honeyed
terms
as
"
love
"
and
"
darling
"
on
his
lips
:
the
best
words
at
my
service
were
"
provoking
puppet
,
"
"
malicious
elf
,
"
"
sprite
,
"
"
changeling
,
"
etc.
.
For
caresses
,
too
,
I
now
got
grimaces
;
for
a
pressure
of
the
hand
,
a
pinch
on
the
arm
;
for
a
kiss
on
the
cheek
,
a
severe
tweak
of
the
ear
.
It
was
all
right
:
at
present
I
decidedly
preferred
these
fierce
favours
to
anything
more
tender
.
Mrs.
Fairfax
,
I
saw
,
approved
me
:
her
anxiety
on
my
account
vanished
;
therefore
I
was
certain
I
did
well
.
Meantime
,
Mr.
Rochester
affirmed
I
was
wearing
him
to
skin
and
bone
,
and
threatened
awful
vengeance
for
my
present
conduct
at
some
period
fast
coming
.
I
laughed
in
my
sleeve
at
his
menaces
.
"
I
can
keep
you
in
reasonable
check
now
,
"
I
reflected
;
"
and
I
do
n't
doubt
to
be
able
to
do
it
hereafter
:
if
one
expedient
loses
its
virtue
,
another
must
be
devised
.
"
Yet
after
all
my
task
was
not
an
easy
one
;
often
I
would
rather
have
pleased
than
teased
him
.
My
future
husband
was
becoming
to
me
my
whole
world
;
and
more
than
the
world
:
almost
my
hope
of
heaven
.
He
stood
between
me
and
every
thought
of
religion
,
as
an
eclipse
intervenes
between
man
and
the
broad
sun
.
I
could
not
,
in
those
days
,
see
God
for
His
creature
:
of
whom
I
had
made
an
idol
.
The
month
of
courtship
had
wasted
:
its
very
last
hours
were
being
numbered
.
There
was
no
putting
off
the
day
that
advanced
--
the
bridal
day
;
and
all
preparations
for
its
arrival
were
complete
.
I
,
at
least
,
had
nothing
more
to
do
:
there
were
my
trunks
,
packed
,
locked
,
corded
,
ranged
in
a
row
along
the
wall
of
my
little
chamber
;
to-morrow
,
at
this
time
,
they
would
be
far
on
their
road
to
London
:
and
so
should
I
(
D.
V.
)
,
--
or
rather
,
not
I
,
but
one
Jane
Rochester
,
a
person
whom
as
yet
I
knew
not
.
The
cards
of
address
alone
remained
to
nail
on
:
they
lay
,
four
little
squares
,
in
the
drawer
.
Mr.
Rochester
had
himself
written
the
direction
,
"
Mrs.
Rochester
,
--
Hotel
,
London
,
"
on
each
:
I
could
not
persuade
myself
to
affix
them
,
or
to
have
them
affixed
.
Mrs.
Rochester
!
She
did
not
exist
:
she
would
not
be
born
till
to-morrow
,
some
time
after
eight
o'clock
a.
m.
;
and
I
would
wait
to
be
assured
she
had
come
into
the
world
alive
before
I
assigned
to
her
all
that
property
.
It
was
enough
that
in
yonder
closet
,
opposite
my
dressing-table
,
garments
said
to
be
hers
had
already
displaced
my
black
stuff
Lowood
frock
and
straw
bonnet
:
for
not
to
me
appertained
that
suit
of
wedding
raiment
;
the
pearl-coloured
robe
,
the
vapoury
veil
pendent
from
the
usurped
portmanteau
.
I
shut
the
closet
to
conceal
the
strange
,
wraith-like
apparel
it
contained
;
which
,
at
this
evening
hour
--
nine
o'clock
--
gave
out
certainly
a
most
ghostly
shimmer
through
the
shadow
of
my
apartment
.
"
I
will
leave
you
by
yourself
,
white
dream
,
"
I
said
.
"
I
am
feverish
:
I
hear
the
wind
blowing
:
I
will
go
out
of
doors
and
feel
it
.
"
It
was
not
only
the
hurry
of
preparation
that
made
me
feverish
;
not
only
the
anticipation
of
the
great
change
--
the
new
life
which
was
to
commence
to-morrow
:
both
these
circumstances
had
their
share
,
doubtless
,
in
producing
that
restless
,
excited
mood
which
hurried
me
forth
at
this
late
hour
into
the
darkening
grounds
:
but
a
third
cause
influenced
my
mind
more
than
they
.
I
had
at
heart
a
strange
and
anxious
thought
.
Something
had
happened
which
I
could
not
comprehend
;
no
one
knew
of
or
had
seen
the
event
but
myself
:
it
had
taken
place
the
preceding
night
.
Mr.
Rochester
that
night
was
absent
from
home
;
nor
was
he
yet
returned
:
business
had
called
him
to
a
small
estate
of
two
or
three
farms
he
possessed
thirty
miles
off
--
business
it
was
requisite
he
should
settle
in
person
,
previous
to
his
meditated
departure
from
England
.
I
waited
now
his
return
;
eager
to
disburthen
my
mind
,
and
to
seek
of
him
the
solution
of
the
enigma
that
perplexed
me
.
Stay
till
he
comes
,
reader
;
and
,
when
I
disclose
my
secret
to
him
,
you
shall
share
the
confidence
.
I
sought
the
orchard
,
driven
to
its
shelter
by
the
wind
,
which
all
day
had
blown
strong
and
full
from
the
south
,
without
,
however
,
bringing
a
speck
of
rain
.
Instead
of
subsiding
as
night
drew
on
,
it
seemed
to
augment
its
rush
and
deepen
its
roar
:
the
trees
blew
steadfastly
one
way
,
never
writhing
round
,
and
scarcely
tossing
back
their
boughs
once
in
an
hour
;
so
continuous
was
the
strain
bending
their
branchy
heads
northward
--
the
clouds
drifted
from
pole
to
pole
,
fast
following
,
mass
on
mass
:
no
glimpse
of
blue
sky
had
been
visible
that
July
day
.
It
was
not
without
a
certain
wild
pleasure
I
ran
before
the
wind
,
delivering
my
trouble
of
mind
to
the
measureless
air-torrent
thundering
through
space
.
Descending
the
laurel
walk
,
I
faced
the
wreck
of
the
chestnut-tree
;
it
stood
up
black
and
riven
:
the
trunk
,
split
down
the
centre
,
gasped
ghastly
.
The
cloven
halves
were
not
broken
from
each
other
,
for
the
firm
base
and
strong
roots
kept
them
unsundered
below
;
though
community
of
vitality
was
destroyed
--
the
sap
could
flow
no
more
:
their
great
boughs
on
each
side
were
dead
,
and
next
winter
's
tempests
would
be
sure
to
fell
one
or
both
to
earth
:
as
yet
,
however
,
they
might
be
said
to
form
one
tree
--
a
ruin
,
but
an
entire
ruin
.
