Read the exchange between jane and mr. rochester before she leaves to attend her aunt and answer the question.

"how long will you stay? "

"as short a time as possible, sir."

"promise me only to stay a week—"

"i had better not pass my word: i might be obliged to break it."

"at all events you will come back: you will not be induced under any pretext to take up a permanent residence with her? "

"oh, no! i shall certainly return if all be well." . .

mr. rochester meditated. "when do you wish to go? "

"early to-morrow morning, sir."

"well, you must have some money; you can't travel without money, and i daresay you have not much: i have given you no salary yet. how much have you in the world, jane? " he asked, smiling.

i drew out my purse; a meagre thing it was. "five shillings, sir." he took the purse, poured the hoard into his palm, and chuckled over it as if its scantiness amused him. soon he produced his pocket-book: "here," said he, offering me a note; it was fifty pounds, and he owed me but fifteen. i told him i had no change.

"i don't want change; you know that. take your wages."

i declined accepting more than was my due. he scowled at first; then, as if recollecting something, he said—

"right, right! better not give you all now: you would, perhaps, stay away three months if you had fifty pounds. there are ten; is it not plenty? "

"yes, sir, but now you owe me five."

"come back for it, then; i am your banker for forty pounds."

brontë incorporates a touch of dramatic irony into this exchange because readers can guess that mr. rochester does not even though jane is unaware of his feelings.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
