Jane Eyre Chapter XI
from The Brontë Library Hosted by The Brontë Sisters
In which we find the weary traveller, Miss Eyre, arriving at the secluded yet stately Thornfield Hall, where she is warmly received by the kind and unpretentious housekeeper, Mrs. Fairfax, and soon introduced to her lively young French-speaking pupil, Adèle. As Jane explores the venerable mansion and contemplates her new circumstances, she observes the curious mingling of homely comfort and ancient grandeur, punctuated by a strange, echoing laugh that hints at the house’s hidden mysteries.
