There was no putting off the day that advanced--the bridal day; and all preparations for its arrival were complete. _I_, at least, had nothing more to do: there were my trunks, packed, locked, corded, ranged in a row along the wall of my little chamber; to-morrow, at this time, they would be far on their road to London: and so should I (D.V.),--or rather, not I, but one Jane Rochester, a person whom as yet I knew not.
Bőröndjeim becsomagolva, lezárva, átszíjazva készen álltak, szép sorjában, kis szobám fala mentén. Holnap ilyenkor már útban lesznek London felé, és útban leszek én is, ha Isten is úgy akarja, azazhogy nem én, hanem egy Jane Rochester nevű személy, akit még nem ismerek.
