Next day new steps were to be taken; my plans could no longer be confined to my own breast; I must impart them in order to achieve their success. Having sought and obtained an audience of the superintendent during the noontide recreation, I told her I had a prospect of getting a new situation where the salary would be double what I now received (for at Lowood I only got 15 pounds per annum); and requested she would break the matter for me to Mr. Brocklehurst, or some of the committee, and ascertain whether they would permit me to mention them as references.
Il giorno dopo confidai i miei progetti alla direttrice, le dissi che avevo trovato un posto dove avrei avuto il doppio di salario che a Lowood, dove non mi davano che 15 lire, e la pregai di parlare di me al signor Bockelhurst o a qualche altro membro del Comitato, al quale si sarebbero rivolte per informazioni.
