Jane Eyre:
I received a letter this morning. If you please, sir, I want leave of absence.
Mr. Rochester:
Why?
Jane Eyre:
Because of an old lady who is sick.
Mr. Rochester:
What old lady?
Jane Eyre:
Her name is Mrs. Reed. She is my aunt.
Mr. Rochester:
I thought you said you didn't have any relatives.
Jane Eyre:
None that would own me, sir. Mrs. Reed cast me off when I was a child.
Mr. Rochester:
Then why must you go rushing off to see her?
Jane Eyre:
She's dying. I can't ignore her dying wish.
Mr. Rochester:
[pause]
You won't be persuaded to stay?
Jane Eyre:
No, sir. I will return to Thornfield.
Mr. Rochester:
So you and I must say goodbye?
Jane Eyre:
Yes, sir.
Mr. Rochester:
And how does one perform that ceremony? Teach me, I am not quite up to it.
Jane Eyre:
They say "farewell," or any other form they prefer.
Mr. Rochester:
Farewell, Miss Eyre. At the present. Is that all?
Jane Eyre:
Yes, sir.
Mr. Rochester:
Then we shake hands.
[shakes her hand]
Mr. Rochester:
Remember your promise.
