●● Returning, I had to cross before the looking-glass; my fascinated
glance involuntarily explored the depth it revealed. All looked colder
and darker in that visionary hollow than in reality: ... the strange little

,•Speaker: Jane Eyre
●● I shook my head: I could not see how poor people had the means of
being kind; and then to learn to speak like them, to adopt their manners,
to be uneducated, to grow up like one of the poor women I saw

than ordinary. Thus restrained and simplified, it sounded more credible: I
felt as I went on that Miss Temple fully believed me.

●● The refreshing meal, the brilliant fire, the presence and kindness of
her beloved instructress, or, perhaps, more than all these, something in

suddenly acquired a beauty more singular than that of Miss Temple's—a
beauty neither of fine color nor long eyelash, nor pencilled brow, but of
meaning, of movement, of radiance.

●● I tired of the routine of eight years in one afternoon. I desired liberty;
for liberty I gasped; for liberty I uttered a prayer; it seemed scattered on
