Jane: I thought youd gone. Rochester: I changed my mind or rather the Ingram family changed theirs. Why are you crying? Jane: I was thinking about having to leave Thornfield. Rochester: Youve become quite attached to that foolish little Adele, havent you? To that simple old Fairfax. Youd be sorry to part with them. Jane: Yes, sir! Rochester: Its always the way in this life. As sooner as have you got settled in a pleasant resting place, youre summoned to move on. Jane: I told you, sir, I shall be ready when the order comes. Rochester: It has come now! Jane: Then its settled? Rochester: All settled! Even about your future situation. Jane: Youve found a place for me? Rochester: Yes, Jane, I have...er... the west of Ireland. Youll like Ireland, I think. There are such warm-hearted people there. Jane: Its a long way off, sir. Rochester: From what, Jane? Jane: From England and from Thornfield. Rochester: Well? Jane: And from you, sir. Rochester: Yes, Jane, its a long way. When you get there, I shall probably never see you again. Weve been good friends, Jane, havent we? |
