3 On re-entering the parlour, I found Diana standing at the window, looking very thoughtful.
4 Meantime, Mr. Brocklehurst, standing on the hearth with his hands behind his back, majestically surveyed the whole school.
5 Miss Miller was now the only teacher in the room: a group of great girls standing about her spoke with serious and sullen gestures.
6 The shape standing before me had never crossed my eyes within the precincts of Thornfield Hall before; the height, the contour were new to me.
7 I jumped up, took my muff and umbrella, and hastened into the inn-passage: a man was standing by the open door, and in the lamp-lit street I dimly saw a one-horse conveyance.
8 Mr. Rochester, having quitted the Eshtons, stands on the hearth as solitary as she stands by the table: she confronts him, taking her station on the opposite side of the mantelpiece.
