簡愛
My pupil was a girl named Adele,who was seven or eight years old. Mr.Rochester had taken Adele to live with him,after her mother had died. She was French,and could not speak English. But I had learned French at Lowood so I could speak to Adele. She was a pretty,happy child who liked to play with dolls and toys. I taught her English and other subjects for two hours every day in the library. It was difficult to make her study,because she had never had school lessons before. A little time passed,and Mr.Rochester still had not come home. One day I decided to ask Mrs.Fairfax some questions about him. I was very curious to know what kind of man he was,and Mrs.Fairfax was happy to talk.
