1 I am going to leave you a few minutes.
2 He comes in last: I am not looking at the arch, yet I see him enter.
3 Young lady, I am disposed to be gregarious and communicative to-night.
4 Miss Ingram, I am sure you will not fail in evincing superiority to idle terrors.
5 Reader, though I look comfortably accommodated, I am not very tranquil in my mind.
6 I am no judge of music, but Mr. Rochester is; and I heard him say her execution was remarkably good.
7 Nature meant me to be, on the whole, a good man, Miss Eyre; one of the better kind, and you see I am not so.
8 There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes sparkled, whether with wine or not, I am not sure; but I think it very probable.
9 When you came on me in Hay Lane last night, I thought unaccountably of fairy tales, and had half a mind to demand whether you had bewitched my horse: I am not sure yet.
10 I have almost forgotten you since: other ideas have driven yours from my head; but to-night I am resolved to be at ease; to dismiss what importunes, and recall what pleases.

15 True, reader; and I knew and felt this: and though I am a defective being, with many faults and few redeeming points, yet I never tired of Helen Burns; nor ever ceased to cherish for her a sentiment of attachment, as strong, tender, and respectful as any that ever animated my heart.
16 Nothing of the sort was visible; and when I asked a waiter if any one had been to inquire after a Miss Eyre, I was answered in the negative: so I had no resource but to request to be shown into a private room: and here I am waiting, while all sorts of doubts and fears are troubling my thoughts.
17 When I was as old as you, I was a feeling fellow enough, partial to the unfledged, unfostered, and unlucky; but Fortune has knocked me about since: she has even kneaded me with her knuckles, and now I flatter myself I am hard and tough as an India-rubber ball; pervious, though, through a chink or two still, and with one sentient point in the middle of the lump.
