Ext. A midsummer dawn. Thornfield the grounds

MRS FAIRFAX (CONT'D)

I'll get started. I'll go to the

George. No, I'll tell Martha...

Jane can sense that the old lady is overwhelmed.

JANE

May I assist you, Mrs Fairfax?

We see Mrs Fairfax approach Jane in a rush of gratitude.

INT. DAY. THORNFIELD - THE SECOND FLOOR.

Jane wears a housekeeper's apron over her dress. She enters

Rochester's room with an armful of bed linen. It has been

returned to its former glory. Adele is jumping up and down

on the bed. Sophie is trying to coax her off it. Jane gives

Sophie the sheets.

Adele leaves the room with Jane and skids all the way down

the newly polished gallery in her stockinged feet. Jane

can't help smiling.
