3 Night was come, and her planets were risen: a safe, still night: too serene for the companionship of fear.
4 The fear of failure in these points harassed me worse than the physical hardships of my lot; though these were no trifles.
5 If I were a masterless and stray dog, I know that you would not turn me from your hearth to-night: as it is, I really have no fear.

15 Mr. Brocklehurst and his family never came near Lowood now: household matters were not scrutinised into; the cross housekeeper was gone, driven away by the fear of infection; her successor, who had been matron at the Lowton Dispensary, unused to the ways of her new abode, provided with comparative liberality.
