Literasi Chapter 9

 Prišiel deň Janinej svadby. Sobášili sa v malom kostole, v ktorom nebolo veľa hostí. They were sitting in a dark corner. I could not see them very well. The clergyman started to speak. At every marriage, the clergyman asks an important question. He asks the pleople in the church, „Is there a problem about this marriage?“ The clergyman spoke loudly. He asked this question and he waited. There was silence for a moment. And then one of the men in the dark corner stood up. „There is a problem. These two people must not be married!“ he said. „My name is Briggs, sir. I am a lawyer,“ the man replied. „I know many things about you. 15 years ago, you were married in the West Indies.Your wife´s name is Bertha Mason. She is alive. She lives at Thornfield Hall.“ „It is true,“ he said. „My wife is living at Thornfield Hall. She is mad. Come to the house – all of you! Come and see Mr.s Rochester! Come and see the madwoman!“

Jane bola ako ochrnutá. Nemohla plakať, nevládala povedať ani slovo. Len to si uvedomovala, že nikdy nebude ženou muža, ktorého tak veľmi miluje. Vedela, že pán Rochester je prudký, tvrdohlavý a panovačný muž, ktorý by ju nikdy nenechal odísť z Thornfield Hall. Ale ona musela odísť.

I must leave Thornfield Hall. I must never see Mr. Rochester again. My life here is finished.

„My father wanted me to marry Bertha Mason. Her family was very rich. I married her. My father was happy. But I was not happy. Bertha was mad, and she was a bad woman. Nobody told me about her. She was married to me, but she met other men. She was drunk every day. She tried to kill me meny times. After four years, I brought Berta here to Thornfield Hall,“ Mr. Rochester said. „Then I went away. Grace Poole took care of Bertha. I met other women. One of them was a French singer. She was Adele´s mother. Adele is my daughter, Jane. But I did not love the French singer. I did not love anybody. I came home to Thornfield Hall. Then you came here and I loved you. I will always love you. Please stay with me, Jane.“

Jane doslova utiekla z Thornfield Hall. Nezobrala si so sebou nič z toho, čo jej Mr. Rochester daroval. Svoje posledné peniaze dala kočišovi, aby ju odviezol hocikde, ale poriadne ďaleko.

I had no money. I had no food. I walked until the evening came. At last, I lay down on the ground. I fell asleep immediately.
