Ibroke from st. john, who had followed, and would have detained me. it was my time to assume ascendency.
my powers were in play and in force. i told him to forbear question or remark; i desired him to leave me: 1
must and would be alone. he obeyed at once. where there is energy to command well enough, obedience
never fails. i mounted to my chamber; locked myself in; fell on my knees; and prayed in my way-a different
way to st. john's, but effective in its own fashion. i seemed to penetrate very near a mighty spirit; and my soul
rushed out in gratitude at his feet. i rose from the -took a resolve-and lay down, unscared,
enlightened-eager but for the daylight
the unusual word unscared works to assure readers that, after her prayer, jane
has no longer any fear of dark nights
hopes no longer to become the wife of a missionary
is no longer concerned about whatever secrets mr. rochester may have
will no longer allow st. john to manipulate her with scriptures and sermons

it was the fourth thursday of november and cassey headed down to the woods to pick up the mushrooms mother had told her to to complement the turkey the family was going to have as they did every day.

she usually sweapt the floors and went for water, but today that task was asked to her younger sister since matthew, the only boy, had gone to the town with father in order to find cheap fabrics to make clothes.

the shoe business was not being as profitable as before, so they had decided to make clothes to sell in the village.

today there would not be time to play with mary, her neighbour and friend, to play to be still in water, a game that was not only part of the fun in the village, but also very useful if there happened to be an acciddent when she had to cross the shore by boat, as she had to at least twice a week to visit grandma.

bored and uninterested in the task she had been imposed to do, cassey started to pull up the best mushrooms she could see. suddenly, something hard was found by her tender fingers. she couldn't believe her eyes: a gold ring crowned by a diamond appeared between her fragile fingers

before she had time to think what to do, a deep voice spoke at her back.

- i heard your mum asking you to pick up mushrooms for the turkey - said her beloved tom - would you collect mushrooms for me next day?

- yes, sure. are you planning to invite someone important? - cassey asked.

- of course. i'm planning to invite two families, mine and my wife's. will you marry me? - tom asked on his knees.

cassey looked at the ring, then at tom, and she felt the moisture in her eyes. she hugged him, kissed him and in those simple actions the answer of her life was implied.

the statement that best summarizes the passage is c. the careful organization of these fairs shows the intelligence of the people who planned them.
