Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


So I turned at the door: I saw a robed and veiled figure, so
unlike my usual self that it seemed almost the image of a stranger.
"Jane!" called a voice, and I hastened down. I was received at
the foot of the stairs by Mr. Rochester.


"Lingerer!" he said, "my brain is on fire with impatience, and
you tarry so long!"


He took me into the dining-room, surveyed me keenly all over,
pronounced me "fair as a lily, and not only the pride of his life,
but the desire of his eyes," and then telling me he would give me
but ten minutes to eat some breakfast, he rang the bell. One of
his lately hired servants, a footman, answered it.
