Jane Eyre Page #6

---

Come, come on.

No!

Jane!

With no direction or wilth to

my future, I travelled to many days

At last, as prompted by old memories,

I made my way back to home of parson.

That once was kind to me.

And this is for you!

Thank you! Good day to you!

Is miss Eyre, isnt it?

Do you, remember me? I'm Mary Rivers,

the rector's sister.

Are you ill?

How is she?

She's had a good sleep.

Now may be a good time

to talk to her.

How are you feeling?

You look better.

The doctor is pleased.

You should be well enough

to come down in a few days.

I have been here almost a month.

I can't stay here any longer.

I must find work

and somewhere to live.

Hush, be still.

You should stay as long as you wish.

Don't make her talk any more.

Tell her.

Miss Eyre.

I did not want to excite

you beyond your strength,

but I have some very surprising news.

A gentleman has been here

looking for you.

A lawyer.

I took it upon myself

to act on your behalf.

A lawyer.

What did he want?

It seems your uncle in Madeira,

John Eyre, has died

and has left you his entire estate.

He always believed you were alive

and he had the greatest faith

that one day you would be found.

You are his only

surviving relative.

You have become a wealthy woman.

These are the papers relating

to your uncle,

and the fortune

you will inherit.

This is your uncle, John Eyre.

And this is your father...

the father you never knew.

How young he looks.

And how kind.

He was kind.

Amongst the papers

is the letter he wrote

to your uncle announcing

your birth.

You were deeply loved Miss Eyre.

Please forgive me.

There is nothing to forgive.

I know you have suffered greatly.

But the past can no longer

harm you.

You are safe now.

As the months past,

my health recovered

and my strength returned.

The more I knew them,

the better I like them.

But despite their

generosity and kindness

my thoughts were constantly

drawn back to the past.

The places and people

I could not forget.

Jane!

Jane!

You have been with us now

for nearly six months

and in that time I have come to

respect you and to

admire you very much.

I don't expect you to love me, now,

undobtedly enough

of love would follow

upon marriage to render the

union even right in your eyes.

All I'm asking you for is your

affection, your care,

your companionship.

You have all those things.

Jane!

What I'm offering you is trustworthy

and good, it is real it is lasting.

I'm very touched by what you say,

but I cannot decide now.

You must give me time to think.

Of course!

But however I decide, I shall give

part of my inheritance to benefit

the girls at Lokwood school.

And, please, I want you to take

whatever you need for

your mission in rework.

Would you arrange it for me?

Mrs. Fairfax?

Pilot.

Hello, Pilot.

Pilot!

Pilot!

No more noise.

Miss Eyre!

Mrs. Fairfax,

bring me a glass of water.

Who's there?

Who is it?

Pilot knows me.

My brain will burst.

What delusion is this?

What sweet madness!

Her fingers.

Her very fingers.

Jane Eyre.

Jane Eyre.

So many times I've dreamed

of this moment.

Then the dream vanishes

and flies away.

Gentle dream.

Kiss me before you go.

I shall never leave you.

You will stay with me?

How?

I will be your friend,

your nurse, your companion.

You will not be left alone

for so long as shall I live.

I'm no better than a ruined tree.

I'm lightning struck

and decayed.

You are no ruin, sir.

You are vigorous

and full of life.

Plants will grow

and wind around you,

because your strength offers them

so safe a hold.

And so I married him.

Slowly but surely,

Edward began

to recover his sight.

And when our first born

was put into his arms,

he could see that our child

had inherited his eyes

as they once were,

large and brilliant

and shining with life.

We sent for Adele,

she now lives with us,

as beloved as if she

was our own dear daughter.

We are truly devoted,

my Edward and I.

Our hearts beat as one.

Our happiness is complete.
