(El Sr. Rochester a Jane).

• Am I a liar in your eyes?" he asked passionately. "Little skeptic, you shall be convinced. What love have I for Miss Ingram? None: and that you know. What love has she for me? None: as I have taken pains to prove; I caused a rumor to reach her that my fortune was not a third of what was supposed, and after that I presented myself to see the result; it was coldness both from her and her mother. I would not-I could not-marry Miss Ingram. You-you strange-you almost unearthly thing!-I love as my own flesh. You-poor and obscure, and small and plain as you are-I entreat to accept me as a husband.

• ¿Así que me rehuyes? - ¡te encierras y te afliges solo! Preferiría que hubieras venido a reprenderme con vehemencia. Eres apasionada: Esperaba una escena de algún tipo. Estaba preparada para la lluvia caliente de las lágrimas; sólo quería que se derramaran sobre mi pecho: ahora las ha recibido un suelo sin sentido, o tu pañuelo empapado. Pero me equivoco: ¡no has llorado en absoluto! Veo una mejilla blanca y un ojo descolorido, pero ni rastro de lágrimas. ¿Supongo, entonces, que tu corazón ha estado llorando sangre?

• Because when she failed, I saw how she might have succeeded. Arrows that continually glanced off from Mr. Rochester's breast and fell harmless at his feet, might, I knew, if shot by a surer hand, have quivered keen in his proud heart - have called love into his stern eye, and softness into his sardonic face, or better still, without weapons a silent conquest might have been won.

• Whatever the cause, I could not meet his sunshine with cloud. If this were my last moment with him, I would not waste it in forced, unnatural distance. I loved him well - too well not to smite out of my path even Jealousy herself, when she would have obstructed a kind farewell. A cordial word from his lips, or a gentle look from his eyes, would do me good, for all the span of life that remained to me; it would be comfort in the last strait of loneliness; I would take it - I would taste the elixir, and pride should not spill the cup.
