A few days later Mr.Rochester asked to talk to me after dinner. We were in the library,and Adele was talking with Mrs.Fairfax. Rochester called me over. He whispered to me,"Adele amd Mrs.Fairfax are busy,so now I can entertain myself." Tonight he did not look so firm or angry,and there was a softness and humor in his fine,dark eyes. He saw me looking at him. "Do you think I'm handsome,Miss Eyre?" he asked. If this had been another person,I think I would have taken time to think,and then said something polite. But somehow,I knew that Mr.Rochester would know I was not telling the truth. So I answered at once,"No,sir." "Ah,you really are interesting! You are a quiet,serious person,but you are not afraid to say what you really think!"
