PART¹ THREE - A YOUNG WOMAN AT THORNFIELD
CHAPTER² NINE
Mr. Rochester's Secrets³

"Mr. Rochester! Wake⁴ up! Wake up!" I screamed⁵, throwing water on the bed to put out the fire. Not until⁶ the fire was⁷ almost⁸ out did⁹ he wake up. He was surprised¹⁰ to see that he was wet.
"Jane, what is going¹¹ on? Is there a [-----1-----] in this house?"he said¹².
"No, sir,"I answered, "there's been a fire!"
"Jane Eyre, is it you and your magic¹³?"he asked. "Did you put a [-----2-----] on me again? Did you want to [-----3-----] me this time?"
I did not answer this. "Sir, please get up. Someone¹⁴ has tried to kill¹⁵ you!" I told him about the strange¹⁶ sounds I had¹⁷ heard outside my room and about the fire. He turned very pale¹⁸, and thought¹⁹ for a few²⁰ moments.
"Do you want to talk to Mrs. Fairfax, or the other servants²¹, sir?" I asked.
"No, we shouldn't wake them. Wait here for a moment. I'm going up to the top floor. I'll be back soon."
I waited in his room for what seemed²² like a very long time. When he came²³ back, be looked worried²⁴.
"Jane, did you see anything when you opened your bedroom door?" he asked, looking carefully²⁵ at me.
"No sir."
"But you heard a strange laugh?"
"Yes, I've heard it before. It was like a strange laugh I heard once. I think it is Grace²⁶ Poole, she laughs like that."
"Well, perhaps²⁷ it was Grace Poole who started this fire. I must think about what to do. I'm glad you're the only person²⁸ who knows about this. Don't tell anyone²⁹! Now, go back to your room."
