1"A stranger!--no; who can it be? I expected no one; is he gone?" "No; he said he had known you long, and that he could
2take the liberty of installing himself here till you returned." "The devil he did! Did he give his name?" "His name is
3Mason, sir; and he comes from the West Indies; from Spanish Town, in Jamaica, I think." Mr. Rochester was standing near
4me; he had taken my hand, as if to lead me to a chair. As I spoke he gave my wrist a convulsive grip; the smile on his
5lips froze: apparently a spasm caught his breath. "Mason!--the West Indies!" he said, in the tone one might fancy a
6speaking automaton to enounce its single words; "Mason!--the West Indies!" he reiterated; and he went over the syllables
7three times, growing, in the intervals of speaking, whiter than ashes: he hardly seemed to know what he was doing. "Do
8you feel ill, sir?" I inquired. "Jane, I've got a blow; I've got a blow, Jane!" He staggered. "Oh, lean on me, sir."
9"Jane, you offered me your shoulder once before; let me have it now." "Yes, sir, yes; and my arm." He sat down, and made
10me sit beside him. Holding my hand in both his own, he chafed it; gazing on me, at the same time, with the most troubled
11and dreary look. "My little friend!" said he, "I wish I were in a quiet island with only you; and trouble, and danger,
12and hideous recollections removed from me." "Can I help you, sir?--I'd give my life to serve you." "Jane, if aid is
13wanted, I'll seek it at your hands; I promise you that." "Thank you, sir. Tell me what to do,--I'll try, at least, to do
14it." "Fetch me now, Jane, a glass of wine from the dining-room: they will be at supper there; and tell me if Mason is
15with them, and what he is doing." I went. I found all the party in the dining-room at supper, as Mr. Rochester had said;
16they were not seated at table,--the supper was arranged on the sideboard; each had taken what he chose, and they stood
17about here and there in groups, their plates and glasses in their hands. Every one seemed in high glee; laughter and
18conversation were general and animated. Mr. Mason stood near the fire, talking to Colonel and Mrs. Dent, and appeared as
19merry as any of them. I filled a wine-glass (I saw Miss Ingram watch me frowningly as I did so: she thought I was taking
20a liberty, I daresay), and I returned to the library. Mr. Rochester's extreme pallor had disappeared, and he looked once
21more firm and stern. He took the glass from my hand. "Here is to your health, ministrant spirit!" he said. He swallowed
22the contents and returned it to me. "What are they doing, Jane?" "Laughing and talking, sir." "They don't look grave and
23mysterious, as if they had heard something strange?" "Not at all: they are full of jests and gaiety." "And Mason?" "He
24was laughing too." "If all these people came in a body and spat at me, what would you do, Jane?" "Turn them out of the
25room, sir, if I could." He half smiled. "But if I were to go to them, and they only looked at me coldly, and whispered
26sneeringly amongst each other, and then dropped off and left me one by one, what then? Would you go with them?" "I
27rather think not, sir: I should have more pleasure in staying with you." "To comfort me?" "Yes, sir, to comfort you, as
28well as I could." "And if they laid you under a ban for adhering to me?" "I, probably, should know nothing about their
29ban; and if I did, I should care nothing about it." "Then, you could dare censure for my sake?" "I could dare it for the
30sake of any friend who deserved my adherence; as you, I am sure, do." "Go back now into the room; step quietly up to
31Mason, and whisper in his ear that Mr. Rochester is come and wishes to see him: show him in here and then leave me."
32"Yes, sir." I did his behest. The company all stared at me as I passed straight among them. I sought Mr. Mason,
33delivered the message, and preceded him from the room: I ushered him into the library, and then I went upstairs. At a
34late hour, after I had been in bed some time, I heard the visitors repair to their chambers: I distinguished Mr.
35Rochester's voice, and heard him say, "This way, Mason; this is your room." He spoke cheerfully: the gay tones set my
36heart at ease. I was soon asleep.
