1 I well remembered all; language, glance, and tone seemed at the moment vividly renewed.
2 I remembered the answer of the old housekeeper at the parsonage, when I had asked to see the clergyman.
3 I know I must conceal my sentiments: I must smother hope; I must remember that he cannot care much for me.
4 His eye wandered, and had no meaning in its wandering: this gave him an odd look, such as I never remembered to have seen.
5 It puzzles me now to remember with what absurd sincerity I doated on this little toy, half fancying it alive and capable of sensation.
6 I had my own reasons for being dismayed at this apparition; too well I remembered the perfidious hints given by Mrs. Reed about my disposition, &c.
7 At Lowood, indeed, I took that resolution, kept it, and succeeded in pleasing; but with Mrs. Reed, I remember my best was always spurned with scorn.
8 I remembered that strangers who arrive at a place where they have no friends, and who want employment, sometimes apply to the clergyman for introduction and aid.
9 I remember but little of the journey; I only know that the day seemed to me of a preternatural length, and that we appeared to travel over hundreds of miles of road.
10 The next thing I remember is, waking up with a feeling as if I had had a frightful nightmare, and seeing before me a terrible red glare, crossed with thick black bars.
11 I remember something, too, of the green grave-mounds; and I have not forgotten, either, two figures of strangers straying amongst the low hillocks and reading the mementoes graven on the few mossy head-stones.

15 My world had for some years been in Lowood: my experience had been of its rules and systems; now I remembered that the real world was wide, and that a varied field of hopes and fears, of sensations and excitements, awaited those who had courage to go forth into its expanse, to seek real knowledge of life amidst its perils.
