PART THREE - A YOUNG WOMAN AT THORNFIELD
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
The Wedding

"Is that all you want to know?! All right, I shall have to tell you, but you might be angry with me, Jane--just like last night! I pretended to love Miss Ingram to make you jealous. I want you to love me as much as I loved you."

"But didn't you care about poor Miss Ingram's feelings?"

"[-----1-----]. Were you jealous, Jane?"

"Never mind, Mr. Rochester." I have one more thing to ask you. Please explain everything to Mr. Fairfax. She was so surprised last night when she saw us! I'm sure she doesn't know what to think."

When I visited Mrs. Fairfax later that day, I knew she was amazed by the news that I was going to marry Mr. Rochester. [-----2-----], but I did not understand why.

"Miss Eyre, I can't believe it!" she said. "You are a wonderful young lady, and any young man should be happy to marry you. But Mr. Rochester is a gentleman, from one of the best families in this area! And he's twenty years older than you. What will people say? He could be your father!"

"Oh, certainly not, Mrs. Fairfax!" I said. "He looks much younger than that!"
"Does he really love you?" she asked.

[-----3-----] and a little angry. I turned around to look at her.

"Mrs. Fairfax, don't you think he could love me?" I said.

"Oh, yes, Miss Eyre! I didn't mean to upset you. I only mean to say, you must be careful of what people will say. I think you and Mr. Rochester should not see each other too much, until you are married."
