听名著练听力之简爱篇 第58期

And so I began to travel back to Thornfield Hall.While I was at GAteshead, Mrs. FAirfax had written to me. She told me that all the ladies and gentlemen had left, and that Mr. Rochester had gone to London to prepare for his wedding to Blanche Ingram. It was clear to me that he would be getting married very soon.
After a long day of traveling, I decided¹ to get out of the carriage at a little town near Thornfield and walk the rest of the way. [-----1-----], and I was glad to be out in the fresh air, on my way home. Of course, I had to tell myself that Thornfield was not really my home. The person I most wanted to see loved another, and soon I must leave.
And then, suddenly, I saw him. He was sitting near the gate ahead of me, writing in a notebook. He looked up and saw me.
"Hello!" he cried, smiling. [-----2-----]I, and I knew if I tried to speak I would cry, or say something ridiculous². So I only nodded my head and smiled.
"So it's Jane Eyre!" he continued. "[-----3-----]! Tell me everything that you have been doing."
"You know that I've been visiting my aunt, sir, who has just died."
"Jane, I think you must be a dream! You've been gone for a whole month! I was sure you had forgotten about me."
Even though I knew I would soon lose him, His words made me so happy that I couldn't walk away
