PART THREE - A YOUNG WOMAN AT THORNFIELD
CHAPTER 1 SEVEN
Mr. Rochester
The house where I was to work was called Thornfield. It was a large house in the country. After a day's journey 2, I arrived at the house. Mrs. Fairfax, who came out to meet me, was a little old lady. She seemed happy to have someone to talk to. The house was dark and cold, with large rooms full of beautiful, expensive [-----1-----]. It was not a very comforting 3 house. But I was excited to live there, working for kind Mrs. Fairfax.
However, I soon discovered Mrs. Fairfax was not the house's owner, as I had thought. She was only a servant. Thornfield belonged to a man named Mr. Rochester, who was not at home when I arrived. My pupil was a girl named Adele, who was seven or eight years old. Mr. Rochester had taken Adele to live with him, after her mother had died. She was French, and could not speak English. But I had learned 4 French at Lowood, so I could speak to Adele. She was a pretty, happy child who liked o play with [-----2-----] and toys. I taught her English and other subjects for two hours every day in the library. I t was difficult to make her study, because she had never had school lessons before.
A little time passed, and Mr. Rochester still had not come home. One day I decided 5 to ask Mrs. Fairfax some questions about him. I was very [-----3-----] to know what kind of man he was, and Mrs. Fairfax was happy to talk.
