I looked at Mr. Rochester: I made him look at me. His whole face was colourless rock: his eye was both spark and flint. He disavowed nothing: he seemed as if he would defy all things.
Je regardai M. Rochester et je le forçai à me regarder; sa figure était aussi décolorée qu'un rocher, ses yeux seuls brillaient comme l'éclair; il ne nia rien, il sembla défier tout.
