Thornfield Hall Quotes — Jane Eyre

"Well, Jane, do you know me?" asked the familiar voice.

"There, then—'Off, ye lendings!'" And Mr. Rochester stepped out of his disguise.

"She bit me," he murmured. "She worried me like a tigress, when Rochester got the knife from her."

Good God! What a cry!

"Help! help! help!" three times rapidly. "Will no one come?" it cried; and then, while the staggering and stamping went on wildly, I distinguished through plank and plaster:— "Rochester! Rochester! for God's sake, come!"

"All's right!—all's right!" he cried. "It's a mere rehearsal of Much Ado about Nothing. Ladies, keep off, or I shall wax dangerous."

"You don't turn sick at the sight of blood?" "I think I shall not: I have never been tried yet."

And what good can you do her? Nonsense, Jane! I would never think of running a hundred miles to see an old lady who will, perhaps, be dead before you reach her: besides, you say she cast you off.

How he died, God knows!—they say he killed himself.

Why, you see, Miss Eyre, it is not a common mishap: his life has been very wild: these last three years he gave himself up to strange ways, and his death was shocking.
