PART THREE - A YOUNG WOMAN AT THORNFIELD
CHAPTER ELEVEN
A Great Party at Thornfield

"Oh Edward, you should have sent Adele away to school instead of getting her a teacher. I saw that young woman with her. She's not very pretty, is she! Adele should have a pretty teacher. It's silly, you know! These girls never teach children anything. Oh, but what a boring thing to talk about! Edward, will you sing with me?"
"Certainly," he answered. I did not want to hear any more. I felt the room quietly and was in the hall when Mr. Rochester appeared.
"Come back, Jane, you're leaving too early," he said to me.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm very tired." He looked at me for a minute.
"Something is wrong. What is it? Tell me."
"Nothing--it's nothing, sir."
"But I see you're almost crying. I don't have time now to find out why. Well, tonight you may leave early, but I want to see you every evening. Good night, my--" He stopped, looked away from me and walked away quickly. I stood there, thinking. Why did Mr. Rochester want me to be at the party?
