Jane Eyre Quote
Edward Fairfax Rochester: So this St. John person you've been mentioning so often. What of him?
Jane Eyre: Well, he's tall. He has blue eyes and a Grecian profile.
Edward Fairfax Rochester: He's handsome then, compared to me.
Jane Eyre: Oh, he's much more handsome than you. And he's a far better Christian of course than you ever were.
Edward Fairfax Rochester: Well I thanked God last night for your sudden reappearance. The other night I cried out to Him in my despair. Called your name too. What about his brain this Rivers fellow? Find yourself getting bored when he speaks?
Jane Eyre: He doesn't say very much, but what he says is to the point. His brain is first rate.
Edward Fairfax Rochester: Did he study much? Taught you things?
Jane Eyre: Oh yes, he taught me languages.
Edward Fairfax Rochester: [frustrated] All right, why did he do that?
Jane Eyre: He wanted me to go with him to Africa.
Edward Fairfax Rochester: He wanted you to marry him?
Jane Eyre: He asked me to marry him.
Edward Fairfax Rochester: You're lying. You made this up to torment me.
Jane Eyre: He asked me more than once.
Edward Fairfax Rochester: Well I think you might take yourself off and go elsewhere! And why are you still here? You've done your duty. You've assured yourself that I am still living, still living a tenth of a life! You, heiress!
Jane Eyre: Well, he's tall. He has blue eyes and a Grecian profile.
