"Sir, thank you for wanting to help me... but it's so far away," I said. I was trying not to cry. My heart felt as if it had been cut into pieces.
"Far away from what, Jane?"
"From England, and from Thornfield and..."
"Well?"
"From you, sir." I could not hide my feelings any more, and began to cry. "Yes, Ireland is very far away," he said calmly. "Let's sit on this bench⁴, Jane. You know, I sometimes feel as if you and I were connected⁵. Our hearts and minds are the same in some wonderful way."
"I wish... I wish I'd never been born!" I cried. "[-----3-----]!" I said what was in my heart. "Oh, I can't bear to leave! For the first time in my life, I've been so happy... and I've met you, Mr. Rochester, and I can't bear never to see you again. Now I have to leave. I feel as if I'm dying⁶."
