Adele was not easy to teach that day; she could not apply: she kept running to the door and looking over the banisters to see if she could get a glimpse of Mr. Rochester; then she coined pretexts to go downstairs, in order, as I shrewdly suspected, to visit the library, where I knew she was not wanted; then, when I got a little angry, and made her sit still, she continued to talk incessantly of her "ami, Monsieur Edouard Fairfax _de_ Rochester," as she dubbed him (I had not before heard his prenomens), and to conjecture what presents he had brought her: for it appears he had intimated the night before, that when his luggage came from Millcote, there would be found amongst it a little box in whose contents she had an interest.
Quando andavo in collera e la rimproverava, ella si metteva a parlarmi del suo amico, il signor Edoardo Fairfax Rochester e indagava qual regalo poteva averle portato. Pare che la sera prima il signor Rochester le avesse annunziato l'arrivo di una piccola scatola, che doveva giungere da Millcote insieme coi bauli.
