　　The New Mrs.Rochester

　　"Why do you have to leave, Jane?" he asked innocently.

　　"Why? What do you mean, why?" I cried, amazed. "Because you're marrying Miss Ingram. She wouldn't want me here. She's your bride."

　　"My bride! I have no bride!" he answered. "But I will have one, and you must stay!"

　　"I won't stay here, I won't!" I shouted angrily, standing up. "Do you think I can watch you marry another woman? Do you think I am a machine, with no feelings? Do you think, sir, that because I'm small and poor and not pretty, that I have no soul and no heart? Well, you're wrong! I have as much soul and heart as you, or more! And I know my heart speaks to yours. We are equal!"

　　"We are!" said Mr. Rochester, taking me in his arms and kissing me. "Don't struggle, Jane, like a wild bird!"

　　"Let me go, Mr. Rochester! I am not a bird. I'm a free woman!" Finally he let me go. "Yes, Jane, you must make your own decision. I ask you to spend your life with me, to be with me always."
