Gone Like the Wind

She is gone. Oh dear Lord she is gone. I awoke this morning to find my beloved Jane had fled Thornfield early this morning. Oh it was just yesterday when we were together. We were such a happy couple on the verge of ceremoniously becoming a part of one another. Such a beautiful and romantic day it was to be. Jane and I would finally get the chance to seal our eternally lasting bond with the wonderful words of God. Nevertheless, things, as usual, did not go according to plan. Oh my wicked wicked past. How it continues to haunt me each and every day of my life; for at the altar I was rid of all my secrets. Jane came to know the truth of my existence and this truth she did not appreciate. My past turned her away.

My darling Janet has found out about Bertha and her good morals lead her away. She cannot marry me simply because I have already been married to another woman. Her religion advises her not to marry me, and so she listens. Now she is gone. My sweet Janet is gone. What am I to do? I'm at a complete loss. My body feels numb and my heart feels cold. Where on earth do I go from here?
