Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I did not like this iteration of one idea -- this strange recurrence
of one image, and I grew nervous as bedtime approached and the
hour of the vision drew near. It was from companionship with this
baby-phantom I had been roused on that moonlight night when I heard
the cry; and it was on the afternoon of the day following I was
summoned downstairs by a message that some one wanted me in Mrs.
Fairfax's room. On repairing thither, I found a man waiting for
me, having the appearance of a gentleman's servant: he was dressed
in deep mourning, and the hat he held in his hand was surrounded
with a crape band.
