听名著练听力之简爱篇 第66期

"Describe the woman, Jane."
"She was tall, with long, dark hair. She put the beautiful veil¹ you bought me on her own head. Then she looked at herself in the mirror. Then I saw her horrible² face! She looked like a dead woman. She took off the veil, tore it in two and threw it on the floor."
"And then?" [-----1-----].
"She came to my bed, and put her candle close to my face so she could see me. She stared angrily at me for a long time. I must have fainted³, and I think she left my room after that. Now, Edward, [-----2-----]?"
"Jane, you are too upset. That was just a bad dream. Forget about it, darling," he said.
"It wasn't a dream. It really happened! When I woke up this morning, I looked on the floor, and there was the torn veil!" Mr. Rochester suddenly trembled⁴.
"Oh, God! To think what she might have done...!" he cried, throwing his arms around me. "Thank God you're not hurt!" After a few moments he said calmly, "Now, Jane, that woman in your room must have been Grace⁵ Poole. Nothing else could have happened."
"Maybe you're right," [-----3-----].
"Jane, one day I'll tell you why she lives here. I promise you. Tonight you should sleep in Adele's room. Nothing can hurt you there. Have happy dreams, about our wedding!"
