　　PART THREE - A YOUNG WOMAN AT THORNFIELD

　　CHAPTER THIRTEEN

　　Mr. Mason is Attacked

　　I woke up in the middle of the night to hear someone shouting. I jumped out of bed. It came from the top floor! What was happening? Then I heard the sounds of two people fighting.

　　"Help! Help! Help! Won't anyone help me?" yelled a man's voice. "Rochester! Rochester! For God's sake!"

　　All the ladies and gentlemen woke up and opened their doors. "What's happening? Are there murderers in the house? Where's Rochester?" they cried.

　　"Here I am!" said Rochester, coming down the stairs. "It's all right. Don't be afraid, ladies. A servant has had a bad dream, that's all, and started shouting. There's nothing to worry about. Please go back to sleep." These words seemed to calm everyone, so they went back to bed.

　　But I knew that I had heard two people fighting. I dressed and waited in my room, in case Mr. Rochester needed me. Soon Thornfield Hall was quiet again. Then I heard someone outside my door.
