"You see, Mr. Briggs spoke 1 of a Jane Eyre, but I only knew a Jane Elliott," said 2 St. John. "Are you Jane Eyre?"

"Well, yes." I cried. "But doesn't Mr. Briggs know anything at all about Mr. Rochester?"

"Briggs isn't interested 3 in Mr. Rochester. He's interested in you. Don't you want to know why?"

"Well, what did 4 he want?" [-----1-----].

"He wanted to tell you that your uncle, John Eyre of Madeira, is dead 6. He has left you all his money, and you are now rich. That is all." I sat 7 down in a chair, my legs shaking 8. rich! One moment I was 9 poor, the next moment I was wealthy 10. I could 11 not believe 12 it. I was very sorry that my uncle was dead, because he was the only family I had 13 left. However 14, I would 15 never have to worry about money again! [-----2-----]!

"Wouldn't you like to know how much money you have, Jane Eyre?" said St. John. "It's only a little bit--just twenty thousand pounds 16, I think."

"Twenty thousand pounds!" I thought 17 I would faint 18 from surprise. I had never heard St. John laugh before, but [-----3-----]. "Perhaps 19... perhaps you've made 5 a mistake 20." I cried nervously 21.

"No, there's no mistake," he said, smiling. "Now I must go. Good night." He was about to leave when I said suddenly 22, "Wait! Stop! Why did Mr. Briggs write to you, if he wanted to find me?"

"Oh, I'm a church 23 man," he laughed. "I have ways of discovering 24 interesting things."
