WEBVTT

00:00:38.437 --> 00:00:39.625
You're going on a journey?

00:00:40.357 --> 00:00:41.742
So suddenly, Jane?

00:00:42.572 --> 00:00:43.909
Without warning?

00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:47.726
Oh, forgive me, my dears.

00:00:47.761 --> 00:00:49.518
I'm called away suddenly.

00:00:49.553 --> 00:00:52.346
I shall be away about
4 days, perhaps more.

00:00:54.030 --> 00:00:55.622
But you're coming back to us.

00:00:56.607 --> 00:00:58.551
Why, you're taking almost nothing.

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.006
You're going alone?

00:01:01.041 --> 00:01:04.302
Yes. It is to see or hear news

00:01:04.337 --> 00:01:07.374
of a friend about whom I have
been uneasy for some time.

00:01:08.587 --> 00:01:11.512
Oh, Jane, you look very pale.

00:01:11.547 --> 00:01:13.825
Are you sure you feel
well enough to travel?

00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:16.071
Nothing ails me but anxiety of mind,

00:01:17.279 --> 00:01:19.107
which I hope my journey will dispel.

00:01:20.949 --> 00:01:22.868
Oh, Diana, I cannot tell
you any more of the matter...

00:01:22.903 --> 00:01:24.183
not now.

00:01:24.218 --> 00:01:25.981
I'm sorry. Forgive me.

00:01:27.121 --> 00:01:28.403
This is your home, Jane.

00:01:29.337 --> 00:01:31.320
You're free to come
and go as you please.

00:01:31.355 --> 00:01:33.304
To go and come back, you mean.

00:01:34.062 --> 00:01:36.428
Oh, Jane, come back to us soon.

00:01:36.862 --> 00:01:38.597
Please?

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.730
My master might be
abroad for all I knew.

00:02:02.765 --> 00:02:04.523
And if he were at Thornfield Hall

00:02:04.558 --> 00:02:06.246
with his poor lunatic wife,

00:02:06.281 --> 00:02:08.868
I dared not seek his
presence or speak to him.

00:02:09.996 --> 00:02:11.587
I decided to ask at the inn.

00:02:11.622 --> 00:02:14.293
They would be able to tell
me all I sought to know.

00:02:33.149 --> 00:02:33.956
Good day to you, ma'am.

00:02:33.991 --> 00:02:35.573
I see you get down from the coach.

00:02:35.608 --> 00:02:37.180
Do you wish for a room?

00:02:37.215 --> 00:02:39.098
Yes. No.

00:02:40.253 --> 00:02:41.696
How far is Thornfield Hall from here?

00:02:41.731 --> 00:02:43.851
Oh, just 2 miles across
the fields yonder.

00:02:44.746 --> 00:02:46.190
I'm going there soon in the chaise,

00:02:46.225 --> 00:02:47.634
if you'd like me to take you.

00:02:48.492 --> 00:02:51.044
Thank you. I must go immediately.

00:02:51.079 --> 00:02:52.602
Please, could you look after my box?

00:02:52.637 --> 00:02:53.475
Yes, ma'am.

00:02:53.510 --> 00:02:54.314
Thank you.

00:04:12.309 --> 00:04:13.349
Is anybody there?

00:04:13.384 --> 00:04:14.533
Ma'am?

00:04:14.568 --> 00:04:16.146
Is that the lady from the coach?

00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:18.463
I am here. What has happened?
What are you doing here?

00:04:18.498 --> 00:04:20.245
You was in such a rare state, ma'am.

00:04:20.281 --> 00:04:22.048
I... I was worried about you.

00:04:22.974 --> 00:04:23.843
I was coming this way,

00:04:23.878 --> 00:04:26.052
so I thought I'd take a
look at the poor old hall.

00:04:26.776 --> 00:04:29.696
I thought you might like me
to take you back to the inn.

00:04:30.686 --> 00:04:32.395
Aye, it is sad, ma'am, isn't it?

00:04:33.286 --> 00:04:35.020
I used to live here once, as butler.

00:04:35.055 --> 00:04:37.316
Not in my time. You're a stranger to me.

00:04:37.351 --> 00:04:38.921
And you to me, miss.

00:04:38.956 --> 00:04:40.967
No, it was in the late
mr. Rochester's time.

00:04:41.002 --> 00:04:42.629
The late? Is he dead?

00:04:42.664 --> 00:04:45.198
I mean the present
mr. Rochester's father.

00:04:46.410 --> 00:04:48.375
You must have been away
from these parts, ma'am,

00:04:48.410 --> 00:04:50.304
or you would have heard
what happened last autumn.

00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:52.723
Oh, it was a dreadful calamity, ma'am.

00:04:53.337 --> 00:04:55.657
Everything gone. Everything burned.

00:04:55.692 --> 00:04:58.094
Before the engines can
arrive from Millcote,

00:04:58.129 --> 00:05:00.497
the whole building
was one mass of flames.

00:05:01.408 --> 00:05:02.908
I witnessed it meself.

00:05:05.864 --> 00:05:07.072
Is it known how it started?

00:05:07.107 --> 00:05:09.400
Oh, they guessed, ma'am, they guessed.

00:05:09.435 --> 00:05:11.659
And the servants had a tale to tell.

00:05:11.694 --> 00:05:14.813
You are perhaps not aware,
ma'am, that there was a lady,

00:05:14.848 --> 00:05:17.418
a lunatic, kept in the house.

00:05:17.453 --> 00:05:18.965
I have heard something of it.

00:05:21.194 --> 00:05:23.386
Well, a very queer thing
happened a year since.

00:05:23.421 --> 00:05:24.718
A very queer thing.

00:05:24.753 --> 00:05:28.194
This lady, ma'am, turned out
to be mr. Rochester's wife,

00:05:28.229 --> 00:05:31.118
and there was a young lady,
a governess at the hall,

00:05:31.153 --> 00:05:33.011
that mr. Edward fell in love with...

00:05:33.046 --> 00:05:35.623
Never mind that. Please
tell me about the fire.

00:05:36.338 --> 00:05:37.315
Very well, ma'am.

00:05:37.350 --> 00:05:39.883
Well, it seems that upstairs
in the lunatic's room,

00:05:39.918 --> 00:05:42.226
while her keeper was asleep...

00:06:18.149 --> 00:06:19.835
Sir! Sir!

00:06:25.709 --> 00:06:27.399
I hate you!

00:06:27.434 --> 00:06:29.089
I hate you!

00:06:32.726 --> 00:06:36.754
And the next minute she
lay smashed on the pavement.

00:06:36.789 --> 00:06:39.988
As dead as the stones on
which her brains and blood lay.

00:06:40.023 --> 00:06:41.600
It was frightful.

00:06:43.154 --> 00:06:44.616
Oh, good God.

00:06:47.222 --> 00:06:48.666
Were any other lives lost?

00:06:48.701 --> 00:06:51.584
No, ma'am, but perhaps it would
have been better if there had.

00:06:51.619 --> 00:06:52.810
What do you mean?

00:06:52.845 --> 00:06:53.967
Well, poor mr. Edward.

00:06:54.002 --> 00:06:57.639
Some said it was a judgment for
trying to marry that poor girl.

00:06:57.674 --> 00:06:58.563
You said he was alive.

00:06:58.598 --> 00:07:01.060
Aye, if you can call it alive.

00:07:01.095 --> 00:07:02.661
He's stone blind.

00:07:03.577 --> 00:07:04.663
Blind?

00:07:04.698 --> 00:07:07.299
Well, after mrs. Rochester
died, he was coming down,

00:07:07.334 --> 00:07:10.376
but there was a crash, and
he was taken out of the ruins.

00:07:10.411 --> 00:07:11.831
He was only just alive.

00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:14.133
Mr. Carter had to amputate

00:07:14.134 --> 00:07:16.003
one hand, and one eye was lost,

00:07:16.038 --> 00:07:17.845
and the other so badly inflamed

00:07:17.846 --> 00:07:19.710
that mr. Rochester cannot see.

00:07:19.745 --> 00:07:21.335
He's a blind cripple.

00:07:22.281 --> 00:07:23.392
Where is he now?

00:07:23.427 --> 00:07:26.480
With old John and his wife, at Ferndean,

00:07:26.515 --> 00:07:28.387
a house he has, some 30 miles off.

00:07:28.422 --> 00:07:30.260
He's very broken down, they say.

00:07:30.805 --> 00:07:31.823
You came in your chaise?

00:07:31.858 --> 00:07:32.558
Yes, ma'am.

00:07:32.593 --> 00:07:34.744
Please take me to Ferndean.
I will pay you well.

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:36.924
- At once, please, at once.
- Yes, ma'am.

00:08:21.708 --> 00:08:24.132
But he won't let folk help him. Ever.

00:08:35.631 --> 00:08:37.327
Maria, how are you?

00:08:38.634 --> 00:08:39.895
And John, how are you?

00:08:42.464 --> 00:08:45.107
Not a word of welcome
from either of you?

00:08:46.264 --> 00:08:47.692
I'm not a ghost,

00:08:48.528 --> 00:08:49.611
Miss Eyre.

00:08:49.646 --> 00:08:51.267
Is it really you, miss,

00:08:51.302 --> 00:08:54.000
come to this lonely
place at this late hour?

00:08:54.035 --> 00:08:56.033
It is secluded, isn't it?

00:08:58.449 --> 00:09:00.330
He wishes to live away
from the world, miss.

00:09:03.301 --> 00:09:04.697
It took me hours in a chaise.

00:09:05.651 --> 00:09:07.330
I have come from Thornfield.

00:09:07.365 --> 00:09:09.190
I know what happened there.

00:09:09.225 --> 00:09:10.954
Aye. Terrible it was.

00:09:10.989 --> 00:09:12.649
I've sent the chaise away.

00:09:12.684 --> 00:09:14.460
I'm sure you can find
me a room for the night.

00:09:14.495 --> 00:09:16.879
There's none but that
dusty old room upstairs.

00:09:16.914 --> 00:09:19.869
You can get up there with a
broom, John, and light a fire.

00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.122
And I can make sure that miss Eyre

00:09:22.157 --> 00:09:24.574
has dry sheets and a
warm bed for the night.

00:09:27.636 --> 00:09:28.725
That's master.

00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:29.917
When you go in to your master,

00:09:31.188 --> 00:09:32.975
tell him there is someone
who wishes to see him,

00:09:33.842 --> 00:09:35.198
but do not give him my name.

00:09:39.455 --> 00:09:40.785
I don't think he'll see you, miss.

00:09:41.765 --> 00:09:43.288
He refuses everybody.

00:09:47.130 --> 00:09:49.404
John, I left my box under
the tree by the gate.

00:09:49.439 --> 00:09:50.509
Could you fetch it for me, please?

00:09:50.544 --> 00:09:53.262
It begins to grow dark,
and take it to my room.

00:09:55.878 --> 00:09:57.267
Aye. You haven't forgotten who does

00:09:57.268 --> 00:09:58.895
the fetching and carrying, I see, miss.

00:09:59.754 --> 00:10:00.888
Thank you, John.

00:10:11.531 --> 00:10:13.224
You're to send in
your name and business.

00:10:15.921 --> 00:10:17.211
Is this what he rang for?

00:10:17.246 --> 00:10:19.705
Aye. He always has candles brought

00:10:19.706 --> 00:10:22.020
in at dark, though he's blind.

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.191
I will take it in to him.

00:10:24.226 --> 00:10:26.932
Oh, Lord, what will he say to me?

00:10:29.130 --> 00:10:30.978
It's the room at the end
of the corridor, miss.

00:10:46.735 --> 00:10:48.334
Give me the water, Maria.

00:11:12.555 --> 00:11:13.970
What's the matter?

00:11:15.593 --> 00:11:17.012
Down, Pilot.

00:11:37.473 --> 00:11:38.836
This is you, Maria, is it not?

00:11:39.516 --> 00:11:41.102
Maria's in the kitchen.

00:11:42.852 --> 00:11:44.002
Who is this?

00:11:46.133 --> 00:11:47.535
Who is this? Who speaks?

00:11:47.570 --> 00:11:48.938
Will you take some more water, sir?

00:11:48.973 --> 00:11:50.186
I spilt half of what was in the glass.

00:11:50.221 --> 00:11:51.440
Who is it?

00:11:53.784 --> 00:11:54.930
What is it?

00:11:54.965 --> 00:11:56.457
Pilot knows me.

00:11:57.203 --> 00:11:58.375
John and Maria know I'm here.

00:11:58.410 --> 00:12:00.193
I arrived only this evening.

00:12:00.228 --> 00:12:02.165
Great God.

00:12:02.956 --> 00:12:05.091
What delusion has come over me?

00:12:05.126 --> 00:12:07.769
What sweet madness has seized me?

00:12:07.804 --> 00:12:09.848
No delusion, no madness.

00:12:11.632 --> 00:12:12.896
Let me touch you.

00:12:15.277 --> 00:12:16.716
Her very fingers.

00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.899
Her small, slight fingers.

00:12:19.934 --> 00:12:22.239
Is it you, Jane? What is it?

00:12:22.274 --> 00:12:23.649
This is her shape.

00:12:24.610 --> 00:12:25.874
And this her voice.

00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:28.180
She is all here. Her heart, too.

00:12:30.280 --> 00:12:31.776
Jane Eyre.

00:12:34.726 --> 00:12:36.899
Jane Eyre.

00:12:36.934 --> 00:12:38.612
I'm come back to you.

00:12:40.589 --> 00:12:42.306
Such dreams I've had at night

00:12:42.341 --> 00:12:44.503
when I've clasped her
to my heart as I do now,

00:12:44.538 --> 00:12:45.922
and kissed her.

00:12:57.699 --> 00:13:00.116
And felt that she loved me.

00:13:00.151 --> 00:13:03.143
And trusted she would never leave me.

00:13:05.028 --> 00:13:07.431
Which I never will do from this day.

00:13:08.101 --> 00:13:09.590
Never?

00:13:11.491 --> 00:13:14.057
But I always woke and
found it an empty mockery.

00:13:16.739 --> 00:13:20.227
My gentle, sweet dream...

00:13:21.930 --> 00:13:23.593
you will fly, too.

00:13:36.699 --> 00:13:38.532
Does this feel like a mockery?

00:13:39.358 --> 00:13:40.878
Do you call this a dream?

00:13:40.913 --> 00:13:42.399
It is you, is it, Jane?

00:13:44.266 --> 00:13:45.388
You are come back to me, then?

00:13:45.423 --> 00:13:46.418
I am.

00:13:46.453 --> 00:13:48.456
You don't lie dead in some ditch?

00:13:50.235 --> 00:13:53.037
You're not a despised
outcast among strangers?

00:13:53.072 --> 00:13:54.619
I'm an independent woman now.

00:13:54.654 --> 00:13:58.375
An uncle in Madeira died
and left me 5,000 pounds.

00:13:58.410 --> 00:13:59.945
What, Janet?

00:14:01.972 --> 00:14:03.373
You're an independent woman?

00:14:05.130 --> 00:14:06.461
A rich woman?

00:14:09.632 --> 00:14:12.091
A free... woman?

00:14:12.126 --> 00:14:13.343
Quite rich.

00:14:14.317 --> 00:14:16.074
To build a house close

00:14:16.893 --> 00:14:18.387
by where you can come
and sit in my parlor

00:14:18.422 --> 00:14:19.925
when you need company of an evening.

00:14:20.640 --> 00:14:22.335
Ah, you're rich, Jane.

00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:26.744
You have now no doubt friends
who will not suffer you

00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:28.924
to devote yourself to
a lame, blind wreck.

00:14:30.015 --> 00:14:31.501
I am my own mistress, sir.

00:14:35.313 --> 00:14:36.653
And you will stay?

00:14:40.118 --> 00:14:41.868
Certainly.

00:14:42.683 --> 00:14:43.899
I will be your neighbor,

00:14:43.934 --> 00:14:46.654
your nurse, your housekeeper.

00:14:48.147 --> 00:14:51.015
I find you lonely. I
will be your companion.

00:14:51.902 --> 00:14:54.388
I will read to you, walk with you,

00:14:54.423 --> 00:14:55.877
sit with you, wait on you,

00:14:55.912 --> 00:14:58.324
be eyes and hand to you.

00:14:58.359 --> 00:15:00.736
You will not be left desolate by me.

00:15:00.771 --> 00:15:02.903
This is pity, not love.

00:15:02.938 --> 00:15:04.560
No.

00:15:05.609 --> 00:15:06.475
- Leave me.
- No.

00:15:06.510 --> 00:15:08.094
Leave me!

00:15:11.445 --> 00:15:13.035
I beg you.

00:15:27.414 --> 00:15:28.763
He was ever that way.

00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.757
I remember the time mrs. Fairfax...

00:15:42.194 --> 00:15:43.274
Maria.

00:15:47.356 --> 00:15:48.388
Maria!

00:15:48.423 --> 00:15:49.420
Yes, sir?

00:15:51.166 --> 00:15:52.930
Our visitor cannot
have left. Where is she?

00:15:52.965 --> 00:15:53.817
Oh, she...

00:15:54.945 --> 00:15:56.199
she's somewhere in the house, sir.

00:15:56.234 --> 00:15:58.216
Well, find her. Bring her to me.

00:15:58.251 --> 00:15:59.500
Yes, sir.

00:16:01.357 --> 00:16:02.465
I'm here, sir.

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:03.960
Still here.

00:16:08.027 --> 00:16:09.299
Jane...

00:16:12.030 --> 00:16:13.322
you must not go.

00:16:15.383 --> 00:16:18.116
I've touched you, felt you, heard you.

00:16:21.796 --> 00:16:23.368
I cannot give up these joys.

00:16:26.055 --> 00:16:28.597
Would they think I'm
selfish, but no matter.

00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.541
Very well, sir, it's settled.

00:16:33.576 --> 00:16:34.761
Yes,

00:16:36.319 --> 00:16:38.390
but you understand one thing by staying,

00:16:38.425 --> 00:16:40.124
and I understand another.

00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:45.343
What do you see as
my understanding, sir?

00:16:45.378 --> 00:16:47.580
You mean to wait on me
like a kind little nurse.

00:16:50.544 --> 00:16:52.238
You were ever kind.

00:16:54.988 --> 00:16:59.075
I suppose I must now entertain
fatherly feelings for you.

00:17:01.852 --> 00:17:03.268
Don't you think so?

00:17:07.162 --> 00:17:08.056
Come, tell me.

00:17:09.040 --> 00:17:11.175
I shall think, sir, what you like.

00:17:12.887 --> 00:17:14.790
But you cannot always
be my nurse, Janet.

00:17:17.188 --> 00:17:18.508
You're young.

00:17:18.542 --> 00:17:20.217
You must marry some day.

00:17:21.868 --> 00:17:23.013
I don't care about being married.

00:17:23.049 --> 00:17:24.320
You should care!

00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:28.263
If I were what I once was,

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:30.134
I would try to make you care.

00:17:33.882 --> 00:17:36.288
It is time someone undertook
to rehumanize you, sir.

00:17:36.323 --> 00:17:37.532
Do you have a pocket comb about you?

00:17:40.562 --> 00:17:41.673
What for?

00:17:41.708 --> 00:17:42.785
Come, give it to me.

00:17:58.016 --> 00:17:59.680
There, it is better.

00:17:59.715 --> 00:18:02.208
Your shaggy black mane is very alarming.

00:18:02.243 --> 00:18:03.736
And this?

00:18:07.687 --> 00:18:09.340
It is a pity to see it.

00:18:11.415 --> 00:18:13.387
And a pity to see your eyes

00:18:14.634 --> 00:18:16.735
and the scar on your forehead.

00:18:21.698 --> 00:18:23.014
Do you take supper, sir?

00:18:23.049 --> 00:18:24.331
I don't want any supper.

00:18:25.284 --> 00:18:26.473
I never take supper.

00:18:26.508 --> 00:18:28.054
Well, you shall have some tonight.

00:18:28.089 --> 00:18:29.601
You're hungry, I'm sure.

00:18:54.294 --> 00:18:56.094
There. That's better.

00:18:57.708 --> 00:18:59.064
Can you tell when there's a good fire?

00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:01.856
With the right eye. I can see a glow.

00:19:03.607 --> 00:19:05.054
Can you see the candles?

00:19:07.676 --> 00:19:08.559
Very dimly.

00:19:08.594 --> 00:19:11.239
Each is a luminous blur.

00:19:13.014 --> 00:19:14.175
Can you see me?

00:19:17.485 --> 00:19:19.720
No, my fairy.

00:19:21.521 --> 00:19:23.410
But I can hear you and touch you.

00:19:27.141 --> 00:19:29.005
Jane, I thought you'd be revolted by me.

00:19:30.594 --> 00:19:31.697
Did you?

00:19:32.450 --> 00:19:34.217
Am I hideous, Jane?

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.054
Yes, sir. You always were, you know.

00:19:44.078 --> 00:19:45.590
Well... the wickedness hasn't been taken

00:19:45.591 --> 00:19:47.102
out of you, wherever you've sojourned.

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.413
I have been with far
better people than you, sir,

00:19:50.448 --> 00:19:52.276
quite more refined and exalted.

00:19:52.311 --> 00:19:54.104
Well, who the deuce have you been with?

00:19:54.699 --> 00:19:55.904
You will not get it out of me tonight.

00:19:55.939 --> 00:19:57.784
You are far too tired.
I will tell you tomorrow.

00:19:57.819 --> 00:20:00.083
You wicked changeling.

00:20:00.118 --> 00:20:03.401
Fairy-born,
yet human-bred.

00:20:05.136 --> 00:20:07.502
Now I'm going to leave you.

00:20:08.097 --> 00:20:09.482
I've been traveling these last 3 days,

00:20:09.517 --> 00:20:11.013
and I, too, am tired.

00:20:11.914 --> 00:20:12.966
Good night, sir.

00:20:13.001 --> 00:20:14.316
Jane...

00:20:15.315 --> 00:20:17.024
were there only ladies
where you've been?

00:20:19.107 --> 00:20:20.386
Good night, sir.

00:20:54.404 --> 00:20:56.220
This St. John Rivers, then...

00:20:57.168 --> 00:20:58.809
he's your cousin?

00:20:58.844 --> 00:21:00.451
Yes, sir.

00:21:01.549 --> 00:21:02.909
Did you like him, Jane?

00:21:04.193 --> 00:21:05.715
St. John is a very good man.

00:21:05.750 --> 00:21:07.082
I could not help but like him.

00:21:08.334 --> 00:21:09.913
Is he an able man?

00:21:10.891 --> 00:21:12.243
Truly able, sir.

00:21:13.422 --> 00:21:15.036
A thoroughly educated man?

00:21:17.062 --> 00:21:21.133
St. John is an accomplished
and profound scholar, sir.

00:21:22.487 --> 00:21:24.763
His manners, I think you said...

00:21:24.798 --> 00:21:25.973
they were not to your taste.

00:21:26.008 --> 00:21:27.551
Priggish and parsonic.

00:21:29.669 --> 00:21:31.228
I never mentioned his manners,

00:21:32.360 --> 00:21:34.925
but they are polished,
calm, and gentleman-like.

00:21:39.856 --> 00:21:40.993
His, uh...

00:21:42.698 --> 00:21:45.886
appearance. I forget how
you described his appearance.

00:21:47.956 --> 00:21:49.542
Uh, a raw curate,

00:21:49.577 --> 00:21:52.184
half-strangled in a
white neckcloth, hmm?

00:21:53.270 --> 00:21:55.020
St. John dresses well.

00:21:56.927 --> 00:21:58.588
He is a very handsome man.

00:21:59.504 --> 00:22:02.544
Tall, blonde, blue eyed

00:22:04.268 --> 00:22:06.118
and with a grecian profile.

00:22:06.999 --> 00:22:08.322
Damn him.

00:22:13.097 --> 00:22:14.237
Did you like him, Jane?

00:22:15.121 --> 00:22:16.359
Oh, yes, I liked him, sir.

00:22:16.394 --> 00:22:17.598
But you've asked me that before.

00:22:22.304 --> 00:22:23.891
Perhaps you would rather not sit

00:22:23.892 --> 00:22:25.578
beside me any longer, miss Eyre.

00:22:26.778 --> 00:22:28.273
Why not, mr. Rochester?

00:22:28.308 --> 00:22:29.768
The contrast between a

00:22:31.329 --> 00:22:34.301
tall, graceful, fair-haired Apollo

00:22:34.336 --> 00:22:37.273
and a Vulcan, black,
broad-shouldered and...

00:22:39.172 --> 00:22:41.064
and blind into the bargain.

00:22:41.821 --> 00:22:42.963
I never thought of it before,

00:22:44.043 --> 00:22:45.755
but you are rather Vulcan-like.

00:22:52.332 --> 00:22:53.940
This man, Rivers...
he wanted to marry you?

00:22:56.767 --> 00:22:57.941
You need not be jealous.

00:22:59.123 --> 00:23:00.389
I only wanted to provoke you.

00:23:00.967 --> 00:23:02.587
I thought anger would
be better than grief.

00:23:03.668 --> 00:23:05.241
I'm not foolish, Jane.

00:23:07.353 --> 00:23:08.780
You formed a new tie.

00:23:10.044 --> 00:23:11.198
With whom?

00:23:11.233 --> 00:23:12.604
This man Rivers...

00:23:13.932 --> 00:23:16.260
St. John Rivers.

00:23:20.422 --> 00:23:21.513
He's young, he's handsome.

00:23:21.548 --> 00:23:22.605
He wants to marry you.

00:23:24.280 --> 00:23:25.243
He will.

00:23:26.654 --> 00:23:28.269
He does not love me.

00:23:30.002 --> 00:23:31.637
I do not love him.

00:23:33.558 --> 00:23:35.646
You of all people should
know what that means.

00:23:40.441 --> 00:23:41.687
Jane...

00:23:43.818 --> 00:23:46.829
4 days ago, last monday,

00:23:48.476 --> 00:23:50.695
a singular mood came over me.

00:23:51.317 --> 00:23:54.036
One in which grief replaced frenzy.

00:23:55.239 --> 00:23:57.421
I was sitting in my
room by the open window,

00:24:00.275 --> 00:24:02.217
broke involuntarily from my lips

00:24:02.252 --> 00:24:05.212
there the words, "Jane..."

00:24:08.606 --> 00:24:10.820
"Jane, Jane, Jane."

00:24:13.158 --> 00:24:14.731
You spoke the words aloud?

00:24:14.766 --> 00:24:16.341
I did.

00:24:17.403 --> 00:24:18.610
You'll think me mad.

00:24:19.922 --> 00:24:21.823
For a voice, I cannot
tell whence it came,

00:24:21.858 --> 00:24:23.735
but I know whose it was replied.

00:24:25.492 --> 00:24:26.513
It said...

00:24:28.273 --> 00:24:32.175
"I'm coming. Wait for me."

00:24:37.214 --> 00:24:39.531
A few moments after
there came upon the wind

00:24:39.566 --> 00:24:43.108
the words "Where are you?"

00:24:47.877 --> 00:24:50.456
Jane, I don't want a nurse or a friend.

00:24:51.110 --> 00:24:52.608
I want a wife.

00:24:54.097 --> 00:24:55.049
Do you, sir?

00:24:55.084 --> 00:24:56.003
Yes.

00:24:58.550 --> 00:25:00.142
Is it news to you?

00:25:02.238 --> 00:25:03.350
No.

00:25:04.903 --> 00:25:06.523
Is it unwelcome news?

00:25:10.881 --> 00:25:12.688
That depends on circumstances, sir.

00:25:14.376 --> 00:25:15.517
On your choice.

00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:20.319
Which you shall make for me.

00:25:22.325 --> 00:25:24.360
I will abide by your decision.

00:25:27.963 --> 00:25:29.924
I leave the choice to you.

00:25:33.248 --> 00:25:34.668
Choose then, sir...

00:25:37.061 --> 00:25:38.756
her who loves you best.

00:25:40.817 --> 00:25:43.834
I will at least choose her I love more.

00:25:47.159 --> 00:25:48.579
Jane...

00:25:50.906 --> 00:25:52.386
will you marry me?

00:25:54.285 --> 00:25:55.402
Yes, sir.

00:25:55.437 --> 00:25:58.369
A blind man, whom you'll have
to lead about by the hand?

00:25:59.748 --> 00:26:00.791
Yes, sir.

00:26:00.826 --> 00:26:03.660
A crippled man, nearly
20 years older than you,

00:26:03.695 --> 00:26:05.802
who you'll have to wait on?

00:26:07.636 --> 00:26:08.917
Yes, sir.

00:26:15.686 --> 00:26:17.033
Truly, Jane?

00:26:19.434 --> 00:26:20.983
Most truly, sir.

00:26:25.941 --> 00:26:27.691
I have now been married 10 years.

00:26:27.726 --> 00:26:30.261
Within 2 years, Edward
recovered the sight of one eye,

00:26:30.296 --> 00:26:32.796
just before our first child was born.

00:26:34.213 --> 00:26:35.516
I now know what it is to live

00:26:35.551 --> 00:26:37.981
for and with what I love best on earth.

00:26:39.376 --> 00:26:41.917
I am my husband's life
as fully as he is mine.

00:26:42.764 --> 00:26:44.280
We are bone of each other's bone

00:26:44.315 --> 00:26:45.905
and flesh of each other's flesh.

00:26:56.386 --> 00:26:58.933
