Ext. A midsummer dawn. Thornfield the grounds

ST JOHN

Why not?

JANE

Because I must not ever be found.

Diana and Mary glance at each other, fascinated.

INT. EVENING. MOOR HOUSE - THE BEDROOM

Jane is dressing herself. She stops, weakly holding the

back of a chair for support, looking out of the window at

the sun setting over the hills.

ST JOHN (V.O.)

Merciful Jesus, enlighten thou me

with the brightness of thine

inward light...

INT. EVENING. MOOR HOUSE - THE STAIRS

Diana is helping Jane down the stairs.

ST JOHN (V.O.)

And take away all darkness from

the habitation of my heart...

INT. EVENING. MOOR HOUSE - THE PARLOUR

St John is praying over Jane, Diana and Mary as they sit at

the table. Mary catches Jane's eye, gives her shy smile.

ST JOHN

Join me to thyself with an

inseparable band of love... For

thou, even thou alone, dost

satisfy him that loveth thee...

Jane finds herself staring at St John, who prays ardently.
