Jane
1
‘my physical inferiority to Eliza, John and Georgiana Reed’
‘me she had dispensed from jointing the group’
‘she really must exclude me from privileges’
‘I returned to my book’
‘With Bewick on my knee, I was then happy’
‘Take her away to the red-room’, and lock her in there’
2
‘you are less than a servant’
‘I was a precocious actress in her eyes’
3
‘I felt physically weak and broken down’
4
‘You have a wicked heart’
‘You’re such a queer, frightened, shy little thing’
5
‘You ask rather too many questions’
6
‘I should love Mrs Reed, which I cannot do; I should bless her son John,
which is impossible’
7
‘a careless girl!’
8
‘ardently I wished to die’
10
‘I had not a very large wardrobe, though it was adequate to my wants’
‘wandering like a troubled spirit’
‘you are quite a lady, Miss Jane!’
11
‘I thought that a fairer era of life was beginning for me – one that was to
have its flowers and its pleasures, as well as its thorns and toils’
‘I felt it was a misfortune that I was so little, so pale, and had features so
irregular and so marked’
‘The equally between her and me was real’ – (Adèle)
‘safe in the silence and solitude of the spot’
12
‘I had hardly ever seen a handsome youth; never in my life spoken to one’
