INT. DAWN. THORNFIELD - THE THIRD FLOOR.

Rochester and Dr Carter are carrying Mason down the stairs.

DR CARTER

I only wish I could have got here

sooner. He'd not have bled so much.

ROCHESTER

Jane, make sure the way is clear.

Jane looks out on to the gallery. She is pale, drawn.

EXT. DAY. THORNFIELD - THE GROUNDS.

A carriage waits. Rochester lifts Mason in to Dr Carter.

Jane hands in Mason's great coat. She stands back.

ROCHESTER

I'll ride over tomorrow to see

how you do. Goodbye, Richard.

MASON

Fairfax - Let her treated as

tenderly as may be -

ROCHESTER

I do my best and have done it and

will do it!

The carriage goes. Jane prepares to go inside but Rochester

walks her towards the orchard.
