Read the passage. When I came to the stile, I stopped a minute, looked round and listened, with an idea that a horse's hoofs might ring on the causeway
again, and that a rider in a cloak, and a ... Newfoundland dog, might be again apparent: I saw only the hedge and a pollard willow before me.
rising up still and straight to meet the moonbeams; I heard only the faintest waft of wind roaming fitful among the trees round Thornfield, a mile
distant; and when I glanced down in the direction of the murmur, my eye, traversing the hall-front, caught a light kindling in a window. it reminded
me that I was late, and I hurried on.
I did not like re-entering Thornfield. To pass its threshold was to return to stagnation; to cross the silent hall, to ascend the darksome
staircase, to seek my own lonely little room, and then to meet tranquil Mrs. Fairfax, and spend the long winter evening with her, and her only, was
to quell wholly the faint excitement wakened by my walk-to slip again over my faculties the viewless fetters of an uniform and too still existence:
of an existence whose very privileges of security and ease I was becoming incapable of appreciating. What good it would have done me at that
time to have been tossed in the storms of an uncertain struggling life, and to have been taught by rough and bitter experience to long for the calm
amidst which I now repined! Yes, just as much good as it would do a man tired of sitting still in a "too easy chair" to take a long walk: and just as
natural was the wish to stir, under my circumstances, as it would be under his.
(from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte)
