PART¹ THREE - A YOUNG WOMAN AT THORNFIELD
CHAPTER² EIGHT
Life³ with Mr. Rochester

Now that Mr. Rochester had⁴ returned⁵, Thornfield hall was⁶ very busy. Many people came⁷ to visit him and talk about business⁸. Adele was too excited⁹ to study. That evening we had tea with Mr. Rochester. Of course¹⁰, this was the man I had helped, with his dark¹¹ hair and skin¹². Although¹³ his eyes were firm¹⁴, they had a little humor¹⁵ in them. His leg was [-----1-----] on a chair. He did¹⁶ not speak to me when I came in.
"Did you bring a gift for Miss Eyre, uncle?" Adele asked him.
"A gift? Who wants a gift?" he said¹⁷. "Did you want a gift, Miss Eyre? Do you like gifts?"
"I've never gotten a gift, sir," I answered. "Anyway¹⁸, I have no right to expect¹⁹ a gift from you, because I haven't done anyting to [-----2-----] one."
"Why, Miss Eyre, don't be so [-----3-----]! I've been talking to Adele. She's not very clever, but you've taught²⁰ her very well."
"Well then, sir, that is my gift. A teacher is happiest when her students do well."
Mr. Rochester drank his tea without speaking. After tea, he asked me to come and sit with him, while²¹ Adele played with Mrs. Fairfax.
