　　CHAPTER TWELVE

　　The Gypsy

　　"I can prove that you're cold, and afraid, and a fool," she said. "Listen. You're cold, because you're alone. You're afraid, because you lack love. And you're a fool, because love is standing right in front of you, and you won't even try to fight for it!"

Clearly, they will be a very happy couple, but I did tell Miss Ingram something about the Rochester property that made her a little angry! If Miss Ingram meets a richer man, I think Mr. Rochester might lose his beautiful bride..."
