Ext. A midsummer dawn. Thornfield the grounds

MRS FAIRFAX (CONT'D)

I got quite melancholy night

after night alone. When spring

finally came I thought it a great

relief that I hadn't gone

distracted.

She opens the door to a small but delightful room.

Jane Eyre adapted by Moira Buffini March 2008 33.

MRS FAIRFAX (CONT'D)

Here.

Jane looks in: a fire burning, a lamp lit by her bed, a

soft quilt, pale chintz curtains.

JANE

OH -

She is utterly speechless. Her eight years of physical

discomfort and hardship are over.

MRS FAIRFAX

Good night, my dear. I hope

you'll be comfy.

JANE

Thank you.

Mrs Fairfax can see how affected she is - and how hard she

is trying to button it down.

INT. NEXT MORNING. THORNFIELD - JANE'S BEDROOM.

Jane opens the curtains. She draws her breath in at the

sight of the grounds. They are beautiful.
