Ext. A midsummer dawn. Thornfield the grounds

EXT. TWILIGHT. A FARM BY A WOOD.

It is raining hard. Jane sees a small girl come out of the

farm with some leftovers. She drops them into a pigpen.

CUT TO:

Jane leaning into the pigpen. She picks a stiffened mould

of porridge out of the mud. She lets the rain wash it. She

eats it ravenously.

EXT. NEXT DAY. A WOOD.

It has stopped raining. Jane is huddled under a tree. She

is shaking, shuddering. The life has gone out of her eyes.

Jane Eyre adapted by Moira Buffini March 2008 3.

EXT. DAY. THE EDGE OF THE WOOD.

The moors rise away above her to the horizon. Jane looks up

at the sun starting to set. The clouds are red and gold.

She sees a small red-haired girl in a white nightgown

walking barefoot on the moors ahead of her. The girl turns,

looks back at Jane. With her last strength, Jane follows.

EXT. EVENING. THE MOOR.

Dark clouds are banking up; the rain starts again. Jane is

struggling through a marsh. Her boots are stuck.

She falls. Her hand disappears into mud; her face pressed

against the earth. She doesn't move. She has reached the

point of despair.

The girl's bare feet walk close by, as if waiting for her.

Jane looks up. Where the child should be, she sees a light

shining across the moor. Jane starts crawling.
