I hardly heard Mrs. Fairfax's account of the curtain conflagration during dinner, so much was I occupied in puzzling my brains over the enigmatical character of Grace Poole, and still more in pondering the problem of her position at Thornfield and questioning why she had not been given into custody that morning, or, at the very least, dismissed from her master's service.
Vagy a legjobb esetben: miért nem bocsátották el azonnal a szolgálatból? Hiszen Mr. Rochester az éjszaka csaknem kimondta, hogy Grace Poole a vétkes.
