Jane Eyre Reunion
Rochester:Who is there? Mrs.Faifax,is that you? Is anyone there? (To his dog.) There,boy.Ah!There's no one there.Whom did you think it was? Mm? Is anyone there,I say? Who is it? (Jane approaches.)
Jane:It is me.
Rochester:Jane?
Jane:Yes.
Rochester:Jane!
Jane:Yes!Yes!
Rochester:You mock me.(Jane kneels down,and takes his hand to touch her face.) Is that you,Jane? Is it really you? Have you come to visit me? You didn't think to find me like this,mm? What? Crying? No need for tears.How long can you stay? An hour or two? Stay a little while.Or do you have some fretting husband waiting for you?
Jane:No.
Rochester:No husband yet? Well,that's bad,Jane.You're not pretty,you know,you can't be choosy.
Jane:No,Sir.
Rochester:Still,I'm surprised you have not been asked.
Jane:I didn't say I had not been asked,Sir.
Rochester:I see.Yes.That's good,Jane.You should be married.
Jane:Yes,Sir.I think so,and so should you.You can't be choosy,Sir,any more than I.
Rochester:No,perhaps not.Well,when is this wedding of yours? I'll bring Adele home from school.
Jane:Wedding,Sir?
Rochester:The devil takes it.Didn't you say you were getting married?
Jane:No,Sir.
Rochester:Well,I'm sure some fool will find you soon enough.
Jane:I hope so,Sir.Some fool that found me once before.(Touches his face with her hand.) I've come home,Edward.Let me stay.(Sits by his side and lays her head on his shoulders.)
