"Ah!  Jane.  But I want a wife."
"Do you, sir?"
"Yes:  is it news to you?"
"Of course:  you said nothing about it before."
"Is it unwelcome news?"
"That depends on circumstances, sir--on your choice."
"Which you shall make for me, Jane.  I will abide by your decision."
"Choose then, sir her who loves you best."
"I will at least choose her I love best.  Jane, will you marry me?"
"Yes, sir."
"A poor blind man, whom you will have to lead about by the hand?"
"Yes, sir."
"A crippled man, twenty years older than you, whom you will have to
wait on?"
"Yes, sir."
"Truly, Jane?"
"Most truly, sir."
"Oh! my darling!  God bless you and reward you!"
"Mr. Rochester, if ever I did a good deed in my life--if ever I
thought a good thought--if ever I prayed a sincere and blameless
prayer--if ever I wished a righteous wish,--I am rewarded now.  To
be your wife is, for me, to be as happy as I can be on earth."
