START: ROCHESTER: Jane. Here. Come and look at this little chap. There. Look at his wings. Thornfield is a pleasant place in summer isn’t it?
JANE: Yes sir.
ROCHESTER: You have become attached to the house?
JANE: Yes.
ROCHESTER: It’s always the way. No sooner have you settled somewhere than a voice calls out to you to rise and move on.
[... …]
END: JANE: Are you in earnest? Do you truly love me? Do you sincerely wish me to be your wife?
ROCHESTER: I do. I swear it.
JANE: Then I will marry you.
They kiss on the ladder. JANE climbs down. ROCHESTER leaves.
