"Why, Miss Eyre, though Mr. Rochester's visits here are rare, they are always sudden and unexpected; and as I observed that it put him out to find everything swathed up, and to have a bustle of arrangement on his arrival, I thought it best to keep the rooms in readiness."
-- Dame, mademoiselle Eyre, quoique les visites de M. Rochester soient rares, elles sont toujours imprévues; quand il arrive, il n'aime pas à trouver tous les meubles couverts et à entendre le bruit d'une installation subite, de sorte que je tâche de tenir toujours les chambres prêtes.
