Ext. A midsummer dawn. Thornfield the grounds

JANE

No, no, no -

MARY (V.O.)

Jane?

Jane Eyre adapted by Moira Buffini March 2008 27.

INT. DAY. MOOR HOUSE - THE PARLOUR.

Jane is staring out at the Autumn rain. She surreptitiously

wipes her tears away and smiles up at Mary.

JANE

Have you something for me to do?

MARY

You are doing something already.

May I see?

Jane hands her a book. She has drawn a bride.

JANE

That's Miss Temple on her wedding

day. She was my teacher; a great

influence on me. Under her

guidance I became a teacher too.

Mary turns the page. It shows a sketch of St John Rivers.

Mary gasps in delight. She takes the book straight to St

John, who is diligently working at his desk.
