Ext. A midsummer dawn. Thornfield the grounds

EXT. DAY. SPRING - THE MOORS.

Jane, Diana and Mary are running over the moors. Mary has a

kite. They are as delighted as children.

INT. DAY. MOOR HOUSE - THE KITCHEN.

Jane is sitting at the table letting Diana style her hair.

They all have new summer dresses on. There is a lightness

to all three as if a great weight has been lifted from

their shoulders.

Diana is setting Jane's hair into curls like her own. Jane

looks at herself in the mirror; softer, gentler, different.

INT. NIGHT. MOOR HOUSE - THE PARLOUR.

The girls each have a candle. St John kisses Mary. He

kisses Diana.

ST JOHN

Good night.

DIANA

You call Jane your sister but you

don't treat her as such. You should

kiss her too.

Jane turns to Diana, embarrassed.

JANE

Di, you are very provoking.

As she turns back, she finds St John's face right in front

of her. He kisses her. A kiss with no warmth; an

experiment. He examines its effect. He is satisfied.

Jane Eyre adapted by Moira Buffini March 2008 108.

ST JOHN

Good night.
