Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Briggs wrote to me of a Jane Eyre:" he said, "the advertisements
demanded a Jane Eyre: I knew a Jane Elliott. -- I confess I had my
suspicions, but it was only yesterday afternoon they were at once
resolved into certainty. You own the name and renounce the alias?"


"Yes -- yes; but where is Mr. Briggs? He perhaps knows more of
Mr. Rochester than you do."


"Briggs is in London. I should doubt his knowing anything at all
about Mr. Rochester; it is not in Mr. Rochester he is interested.
Meantime, you forget essential points in pursuing trifles: you do
not inquire why Mr. Briggs sought after you -- what he wanted with
you."
