For three days and nights I lay in bed,tired from the awful experience at Thornfield. I hardly knew where I was. When I began to feel stronger,Hannah,the old lady,came to sit with me and told me all about the three people in the house. She had cared for them since they were children. Their family name was Rivers,and both their parents were dead. Their father,sadly,had died only three weeks before this. The girls were named Diana and Mary. They had no money and had to work as governesses. Their brother,St.John,worked at the church in the nearest village. He was a Christian,and very serious. The house I had found was called Moor House,and the Rivers family did not come here often.
