The First Encounter

There is a new gorverness at Thornfield Hall who certainly means well. She enjoys teaching Adèle and quite frankly is fairly good at it. However, this woman is not like most of the other woman in my life. Something is different about her, but I cannot seem to put my finger on it. Jane-I believe her name is-is certainly a mysifying lady.

I remember our first encounter...quite ironic it was. I met her for the first time on a hilltop at night just a little ways from Thornfield. I was returning to Thornfield on my horse, with Pilot traveling along side of me, when my horse suddenly lost his footing on a patch of ice. I fell from my horse and hurt my ankle. It was at this time I then realized a stranger's company. this stranger was a woman. I asked her to aid me in getting back on my horse, for the pain was too severe to do it by myself. During our fairly brief communications, however, I learned that this young lady was going to be the governess to my sweet Adèle. Therefore, I knew she and I would soon meet again.

An intelligent lady she proved to be. She enjoyed her job and her little pupil too. Her name was Jane Eyre and interesting she was.
