00:00You
00:30You
00:45Good day, Miss Elliot. I've come to see how you spend your free afternoon
01:01Is the portrait like?
01:05Like?
01:07Like whom? I did not observe it closely.
01:10Oh, but you did, Mr. Rivers.
01:12It is a well-executed picture.
01:16Of?
01:18Of Miss Oliver, I presume.
01:20And would you like me to paint you a copy?
01:24That I should like it is certain.
01:27Whether it would be wise is another question.
01:30As far as I can see, it would be wiser if you were to take to yourself the original at once.
01:35She likes you, I'm sure. You ought to marry her.
01:42It is strange.
01:45Though I love Rosamond with all the intensity of a first passion,
01:50I experience at the same time a calm, unwarped sense that she is not the partner suited to me.
01:57Strange indeed.
02:00Rosamond, a sufferer, a laborer, a female apostle.
02:06A missionary's wife? No.
02:09But you might not be a missionary. You might relinquish the scheme.
02:13Relinquish my vocation?
02:16My foundation on earth for a mansion in heaven? Never.
02:20It is dearer than the blood in my veins.
02:24And Miss Oliver?
02:26Are her disappointment and sorrow of no interest to you?
02:29She is surrounded by suitors.
02:32She will forget me in a month and marry someone far more suited to make her happy.
02:37Oh, you speak coolly, but you suffer in the conflict.
02:41You are certainly not timid. I scorn the suffering.
02:45It is a mere fever of the flesh.
02:49Reason and not feeling is my guide.
02:53I honor endurance, industry, talent.
02:58Your own progress I watch with interest because I consider you a diligent, orderly, energetic woman.
03:04It is not because I sympathize with what you have gone through or what you still suffer.
03:10I am in my original state a cold, hard, ambitious man.
03:15It is true.
03:17My religion has turned the original materials to the best account,
03:21but she could not eradicate nature.
03:24She is beautiful.
03:43She is well-named the Rose of the World.
03:46And may I not paint a copy for you?
03:55Cui bono? No.
03:59Good day, Miss Elliot. Good day, Mr. Evers.
04:03Hannah, Hannah, they're here, they're here!
04:24Oh, it's so good to see you.
04:26Merry Christmas.
04:27Merry Christmas.
04:29Jane.
04:30Oh, girls.
04:31My dear.
04:32My dear.
04:33My dear.
04:34My dear.
04:35My dear.
04:36My dear.
04:37My dear.
04:38My dear.
04:39Oh, is it not wonderful to be all together in our own home for Christmas?
04:44The place shines like a new pin.
04:46The young lady came back with me a week ago when the school closed,
04:49and I must say she's worked as hard as me.
04:51Oh, bless you, Jane.
04:53I hope this means you regard it as your own home.
04:56Aye, too. One's family is one's most precious earthly possession.
04:59Jane, I must speak with you.
05:15Jane, come and sit by me.
05:23You may remember a letter I had recently concerning my Uncle John's will.
05:28Yes.
05:29It was from his London solicitor, a Mr. Briggs.
05:35I know Mr. Briggs.
05:39And you know my name.
05:41I plead guilty.
05:42Forgive me.
05:48Briggs wrote again later.
05:50Your name was mentioned.
05:51Why?
05:52I will tell you in a moment.
05:53But in consequence,
05:55I have learned what befell you from the day you went as the governess to the ward of a certain Mr. Rochester.
06:02I can guess your feelings, but restrain them for a while.
06:06I know he offered you a bigamous marriage,
06:09that you fled,
06:11and that you are absolutely innocent of blame.
06:13And where is he? What is he doing? Is he well?
06:16I am ignorant of all concerning Mr. Rochester.
06:19He caused the country to be scoured for you,
06:21and when all searches and inquiries proved fruitless,
06:23he disappeared.
06:25It is generally believed that he has gone abroad.
06:29Oh, what will become of him?
06:32Surely you are the last to care.
06:38Briggs wrote to Thornfield Hall.
06:40He was paid and has heard nothing since,
06:43except from a Mrs. Fairfax giving no information.
06:47Of Mr. Rochester's...
06:48You don't know him. Don't pronounce an opinion on him.
06:54Very well.
06:56Your uncle having died, Mr. Briggs could not trace the heiress.
07:01Where is Mr. Briggs now?
07:03He may perhaps know more of Mr. Rochester than you do.
07:06Briggs is in London.
07:07I should doubt his knowing anything at all about Mr. Rochester.
07:10It is not in Mr. Rochester that he is interested.
07:14You forget essential points in pursuing trifles.
07:20You do not inquire why Briggs has sought after you,
07:23what his interest was in you.
07:27Well, what did he want?
07:33Merely to inform you that your uncle, Mr. Heir of Madeira, has died,
07:38that he has left you all his property,
07:41and that you are rich, an heiress.
07:45I an heiress?
07:48Your uncle left you 20,000 pounds.
07:53I shall leave you for a while.
08:00No, wait.
08:02Mr. Rivers,
08:05when first Mr. Briggs wrote to you,
08:09you were disinherited in favor of another relative.
08:13You shall have to know at some time.
08:16You may as well know now as later.
08:22Your name is Jane Eyre.
08:24You may well not know that I was christened St. John Eyre Rivers.
08:28My mother's name was Eyre.
08:30One brother was Uncle John, who died in Madeira and left this money.
08:34The other brother was a poor clergyman who died, as his wife did, many years ago.
08:40I know your whole story.
08:42Then your mother is my father's sister.
08:44Undeniably.
08:45We are cousins.
08:46Yes, we are cousins.
08:47Oh, I'm glad, I'm glad.
08:49You are an odd girl.
08:52You remained quite serious when I told you you had got a fortune.
08:56And now, for a matter of no moment, you are excited.
08:59It may be of no moment to you.
09:01You have sisters. I had nobody.
09:03And now I have three relatives.
09:05Oh, I'm glad.
09:07But now you've given me too much to take in. I must be alone.
09:10Think.
09:11Please stay. I'll go to my room.
09:14Oh, we'll have so much to talk about.
09:20My dear, if I comprehend you, this is impossible.
09:24What is there to comprehend?
09:26There is 20,000 pounds.
09:28We have four cousins. We have each an equal right.
09:30Divided equally, we each have 5,000 pounds.
09:33It is as much as any of us needs, and it is perfectly possible.
09:36It is too noble a sacrifice, Jane.
09:39Noble? Mary, dear, it is selfish.
09:43I am resolved to have a home and family.
09:45I like Morehouse. I will live at Morehouse.
09:48I like Mary and Diana,
09:50and I will attach myself for life to Mary and Diana.
09:53To have 5,000 pounds would please me.
09:55To have 20,000 pounds would torment and oppress me.
09:58It is contrary to all custom.
10:00The entire fortune is your right.
10:02My uncle was free to leave the money to whom he would.
10:06He left it to you.
10:08Were you to argue, object and annoy me for a year,
10:11I could not forgo this delicious pleasure.
10:13Jane, you cannot imagine what an embarrassment
10:17and what an important lady you will be with 20,000 pounds.
10:21Society will be open to you.
10:24My society is here.
10:26I never had a home. I will have a home.
10:29I never had brothers and sisters, and I must and will have them now.
10:33We cannot take advantage.
10:35Say again you will be my brother. I will be your brother. No buts.
10:38I will stay at the school till we find a new teacher,
10:42and then I will return here to my family.
10:45Say what you will. My purpose is fixed.
10:47I shall write to the lawyers tonight, and will you? Nilly, it is done.
10:57How quickly the winter went by,
11:00and how wonderful to be spending the summer together.
11:06St. John, are your plans unchanged?
11:10Unchanged and unchangeable.
11:15And Rosamond Oliver?
11:18He's about to be married
11:20to a rich and well-descended young man.
11:24A Mr. Granby.
11:27Oh dear.
11:35You see Jane, the battle is fought,
11:38and the victory is won.
11:41My way is now clear.
11:44I thank God for it.
11:49You get on well with your German.
11:51Diana teaches well.
11:55Jane, I should like you to take a walk with me.
12:00I'll fetch Diana and Mary.
12:02No, I wish for only one companion this morning, and that must be you.
12:14We shall rest here a while, Jane.
12:45I go to India in six weeks, Jane.
12:48I have taken my birth on an East India man.
12:51God will protect you. You have undertaken his work.
12:55Yes. I am the servant of an infallible master,
12:59and it seems strange to me that all around me
13:02do not burn to enlist under the same banner.
13:05All have not your powers.
13:07It would be folly for the feeble to march with the strong.
13:11I am thinking only of those who are worthy of the work
13:14and are competent to do it.
13:16They must be few in number.
13:18True.
13:20But when found, it is right to offer them direct from God
13:24a place in the ranks of his chosen.
13:27If they are really meant for the task,
13:30will not their own hearts tell them so?
13:34What does your heart say?
13:37My heart?
13:39My heart?
13:43My heart is mute.
13:46Then I must speak for it.
13:50Jane, come with me to India.
13:52Come as my helpmate and fellow labourer.
13:56Oh, Sinjin, have some mercy.
13:58God and nature meant you for a missionary's wife.
14:02You are formed for labour, not for love.
14:05I claim you, not for my pleasure, but for my sovereign service.
14:10I do not understand a missionary's life.
14:12There I can give you all the aid you need.
14:15I am not fit for the task.
14:17I have no vocation.
14:19Nothing speaks or stirs within me when you talk.
14:24Jane, you are docile, disinterested,
14:29faithful and courageous.
14:31Very gentle and very heroic.
14:34Cease to mistrust yourself.
14:37I can trust you unreservedly.
14:42You must give me some time to think.
14:45Very willingly.
15:04In leaving England, I should leave a loved but empty land.
15:10Mr. Rochester was no longer there.
15:13And even if he were, what could that ever be to me?
15:18Consent to Sinjin's demand was possible,
15:21but for one item.
15:23One dreadful item.
15:26He had asked me to be his wife
15:28when he had no more of a husband's heart for me
15:31than a frowning giant of a rock down which the stream was flowing.
15:51I am ready to go with you to India,
15:54if I can go free.
15:57Your answer is not clear.
16:02I am willing to go as your fellow missionary,
16:04but I cannot marry you.
16:07How can I, a man not yet thirty,
16:10take with me a girl of nineteen
16:12unless she be married to me?
16:15I want a wife.
16:18A soul helpmeet I can influence in life
16:21and claim obedience from
16:23and retain absolutely until death.
16:27I will give the missionary my work, but not myself.
16:30Do you think God would be satisfied with half an offering?
16:33I will give my heart to God.
16:35You do not want it.
16:37We must be married.
16:40Enough of love would follow upon marriage.
16:42I scorn your idea of love.
16:44I scorn the counterfeit sentiment.
16:46Yes, Sinjin, and I scorn you when you offer it.
16:52Forgive me. You stung me to speak unguardedly.
16:56I shall urge you no further at present.
17:00Tomorrow I leave for Cambridge to say goodbye to old friends.
17:04I shall be absent a fortnight.
17:07Take that time to consider my offer.
17:10If you reject it,
17:12it is not me you deny,
17:14but God.
17:17Dear brother,
17:19we've almost quarreled.
17:21Come, let us shake hands.
17:30You do forgive me?
17:32I have nothing to forgive,
17:35not having been offended.
18:00Good morning. I have called to see Miss Jane Eyre.
18:03She's expecting you, sir. Come in.
18:18Thank you, Miss Eyre.
18:20I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
18:22No, no, it's all right.
18:24It's all right.
18:26It's all right.
18:28Thank you, Miss Eyre.
18:32I'm sorry to have troubled you,
18:34but if I'm to sell off the remainder of the estate,
18:37I must have your authority.
18:44Thank you for coming so far, Mr Briggs.
18:50And Mr Rochester?
18:52Is he well?
18:54I have no information whatever about him.
18:58I've written twice to Mrs Fairfax
19:00and have had no reply from my letters.
19:03I believe she has left Thornfield.
19:07Miss Eyre, you know I made an extensive search for you
19:10on Mr Rochester's behalf.
19:12Yes.
19:14It is an irony that I only found you
19:16after he had vanished to heaven knows where.
19:21He may return to Thornfield at any time.
19:24Would you wish me to write
19:26and tell him that I found you?
19:28No, Mr Briggs, that must not be.
19:31I asked because you say you yourself wrote.
19:34Only to Mrs Fairfax and in vain.
19:37It was but for news of him.
19:40He's so wild and such a danger to himself.
19:45He knew where I was.
19:48No, please, Mr Briggs, no!
19:56Oh!
20:04Miss Eyre.
20:06I'm well.
20:10I shall obey your instructions.
20:13Goodbye, Miss Eyre.
20:27Good day to you, sir.
20:29Good day to you.
20:57St. John.
21:00I am unhappy because you're still angry with me.
21:04Let us be friends.
21:07I hope that we are friends.
21:11Not as we were.
21:13Are we not?
21:16For my part we are.
21:18I wish you no ill and all good.
21:22Must we part in this way?
21:25When you go to India, will you leave me so?
21:28Without a kinder word than you have yet spoken.
21:31And when I go to India, Jane, will I leave you?
21:36Do you not go to India?
21:40You said I might not go unless I married you.
21:48And you will not marry me.
21:52You adhere to that resolution.
21:57No, St. John.
21:59I will not marry you.
22:01I adhere to my resolution.
22:05Once again this refusal.
22:09Why?
22:13You do not love me.
22:16You said I was formed for labour,
22:19not for love.
22:22Then I am not formed for marriage.
22:25If I were to marry you, you would kill me.
22:28You're killing me now.
22:32I am killing you?
22:37You should not use those words.
22:39They are violent, unfeminine and untrue.
22:44But it is the duty of man to forgive,
22:47even unto seven and seventy times.
22:52Now, indeed, you hate me.
22:55You misinterpret me.
22:57I have no wish to grieve or pain you.
23:00Indeed, I have not.
23:02I know where your heart turns.
23:05It turns towards Mr. Rochester.
23:09That is lawless.
23:13Do you intend to seek him?
23:18I wish only to know what has become of him.
23:37So be it.
23:42It remains, then, for me to remember you in my prayers.
23:56Anna!
24:13This evening, I shall read to you from Revelations,
24:16chapters 20 and 21.
24:22And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God,
24:27and the books were opened.
24:29And another book was opened, which is the book of life.
24:33And the dead were judged out of those things
24:35which were written in the books, according to their works.
24:38And the sea gave up the dead which were in it,
24:41and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them,
24:45and they were judged, every man, according to their works.
24:50And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
24:54And this is the second death.
24:58And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
25:01was cast into the lake of fire.
25:03And I saw a new heaven and a new earth.
25:07For the first heaven and the first earth were passed away,
25:10and there was no more sea.
25:13And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
25:18coming down from God out of heaven,
25:22prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
25:27Prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
25:52You read that so movingly.
25:56Yes.
26:07Could you not think again?
26:10Could you not decide now?
26:15I could decide.
26:18I was sure it were God's will that I should marry you.
26:22I could vow to marry you here and now, come after what may.
26:27My prayers are answered.
26:39Jane.
26:43Jane.
26:46Jane.
26:47Oh, God, what is it?
26:48Jane.
26:50Jane.
26:51Oh, I'm coming. Wait for me.
26:53I'm coming.
26:57I love wait for me. I'm coming.
27:01Where are you?
27:04Where are you?
27:16Jane.
27:22Jane, what has come upon you? You are possessed.
27:24Leave me alone. Leave me.
27:45Leave me alone.
27:47Leave me alone.
27:49Leave me alone.
28:13You said I saved your life.
28:15Will you not even speak with me?
28:20Jane.
28:32Jane, I must...
28:36Where are you going?
28:38Where I must.
28:41You left me too suddenly.
28:43Had you stayed but a little longer,
28:45you were about to lay your hand on the Christian's cross and the Christian's crown.
28:50I am sorry.
28:52Your spirit is willing that your flesh is weak.
28:54The devil has been at work here.
28:56No devil, St. John. That is superstition.
28:59It was nature. She was roused and did no miracle but her best.
29:04You are still upset. You speak in riddles.
29:07I shall not argue with you now.
29:11But know that my spirit is willing to do what is right.
29:15And my flesh, I hope, is strong enough too.
29:19I must accomplish the will of heaven
29:22to search and dispel this cloud of doubt that has confused you.
29:27I am in no doubt, St. John.
29:29But there is something I have to find out.
29:31Something I must do.
29:37It is in God's hands.
29:40Amen.
30:10Amen.
